We read with great interest the recent report by Li et al. 1 analyzing the correlation between the clusters of differentiation 24 (CD24) polymorphism and risk of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In their study, the CD24 P170 T allele (thymidine at position 170) was correlated with a strong

Type IV glycogenosis is due to branching enzyme deficiency and is usually manifested clinically by progressive liver disease with cirrhosis and hepatic failure between the second and fourth years of life. We describe a 6-year-old boy who, following an acute febrile illness at 2 years of age, was fir
The genetic factors associated with susceptibility to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in pediatric obesity remain largely unknown. Recently, a nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs738409), in the patatin-like phospholipase 3 gene (PNPLA3) has been associated with hepatic steatosi
Liver disease in alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha1AT) deficiency is caused by a gain-of-toxic function mechanism engendered by the accumulation of a mutant glycoprotein in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The extraordinary degree of variation in phenotypical expression of this liver disease is believed to
We read with interest the article by Vibert et al. 1 recently published in HEPATOLOGY. The authors described their single-center experience with liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients (21 cases) and compared those patients to
