Association of Hepatitis C Virus Infection and Interleukin-28B Gene Polymorphism in Chinese Children
OBJECTIVE To preliminarily explore the association of rs12979860 and rs8099917 SNPs with chronic HCV infection in Chinese Han children. METHODS Chronic HCV infection patients (n=277; 1-17 years old, 4.5 years old in average) and healthy subjects (n=150, children; 2-17 years old, 5.2 years old in average) were recruited and tested by PCR combining direct sequencing. The differences between the...
متن کاملLack of association between interleukin 28B polymorphisms and spontaneous viral clearance in hepatitis B virus patients.
TO THE EDITOR—We read the article by Seto et al [1] with interest. The authors investigated the correlation of HLA-DP and interleukin 28B (IL-28B) polymorphisms with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance in hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients, and found that IL-28B haplotype CG (rs12979860/rs8099917) was associated with HBsAg clearance. The role of IL-28B polymorphisms in HBV has been ...
متن کاملRole of Interleukin-28B Genetic Polymorphisms in Korean Patients with Hepatitis C Virus Infection
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study investigated the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the interleukin-28B (IL28B) gene with respect to clinical outcomes and the antiviral response in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to suggest the practical utility of IL28B genotyping in Korea. METHODS Two SNPs near IL28B, rs12979860 and rs8099917, were analyzed using an allelic discrimination assa...
متن کاملThe Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
متن کاملCHARACTERISTICS AND PREVALENCE OF OCCULT HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATITIS C IN IRAN
ABSTRACT Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in patients who lack detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is called occult hepatitis B infection. Such infections have been frequently identified in patients with chronic hepatitis Cliver disease, but their prevalence is not known. Methods: 207 patients with chronic hepatitis C who were HCV -RNA and antiHCV positive were stu...
