In 20% to 30% of infected individuals, hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, for which liver transplantation is the best treatment available. HCV re-infection is universal, and hepatitis disease recurrence occurs in most cases with a 30% probability of progression
## Abstract Genetic factors of the host have been shown to influence the outcome of treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Killer cell immunoglobulinβlike receptors (KIR) regulate natural killer (NK) cell activity by interaction with specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I. In this
