Progression of liver fibrosis in HIV/HCV genotype 1 co-infected patients is related to the T allele of the rsI2979860 polymorphism of the <it>IL28B </it>gene

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Objective</p> <p>HIV/HCV co-infection is characterised by accelerated progression of liver disease. Recently, the rsl2979860 C/T polymorphism in the <it>IL28B </it>gene has been linked to progression towards cirrhosis in HCV mono-infected...
