Genetic diversity of the KIR/HLA system and susceptibility to hepatitis C virus-related diseases.

Genetic diversity of the KIR/HLA system and susceptibility to hepatitis C virus-related diseases.

BACKGROUND:The variability in the association of host innate immune response to Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection requires ruling out the possible role of host KIR and HLA genotypes in HCV-related disorders: therefore, we therefore explored the relationships between KIR/HLA genotypes and chronic HCV...
