IL28B gene polymorphisms in mono- and HIV-coinfected chronic hepatitis C patients

IL28B gene polymorphisms in mono- and HIV-coinfected chronic hepatitis C patients

Introduction: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance were identified near the IL28B gene. Coinfection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) influences the course of HCV contributing to liver damage. Nevertheless, little is known about the relatio...
