Relation of IL28B gene polymorphism with biochemical and histological features in hepatitis C virus-induced liver disease.

BACKGROUND/AIMS:Polymorphism at the IL28B gene may modify the course of hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection. Our aim was to study the influence of IL28B rs12979860 gene polymorphism on the biochemistry and pathology of HCV-induced disease in the clinical course from mild chronic hepatitis C to...
