Association Analysis of Genetic Variants of Sodium Taurocholate Co-Transporting Polypeptide NTCP Gene (<i>SLC10A1</i>) and HBV Infection Status in a Cohort of Egyptian Patients

Association Analysis of Genetic Variants of Sodium Taurocholate Co-Transporting Polypeptide NTCP Gene (<i>SLC10A1</i>) and HBV Infection Status in a Cohort of Egyptian Patients

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the <i>SLC10A1</i> gene, coding for a functional receptor of hepatitis B virus (HBV), sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP), may influence the susceptibility, outcome, and disease course of HBV infection in some popul...
