Interferon-c (IFN-c) is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in regulating cellular immune responses. Regulation of IFN-c expression is considered to be strictly controlled at the transcriptional level. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the human IFN-c promoter (at pos
Needle-sharing and sexual contact are important transmission routes of hepatitis B, C, and D virus (HBV, HCV, HDV) infection. This study aimed to investigate the current status of these viral infections among high-risk populations including prostitutes and intravenous (i.v.) drug users, compared wit
## Abstract A number of genetic loci have been proposed to be associated with persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This study aimed to evaluate the association and interaction of susceptible genes with HBV persistence in a Chinese population. A total of 17 polymorphisms in 9 candidate gene
