Viral load and B-catenin level correlation study in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus

Hepatitis a general term which refers to inflammation of the liver. It may result from various causes, both infectious ( viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic) noninfectious (alcohol, drugs, autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases). The hepatitis B X protein (HBx) plays role in epigenetic regulation HBV replication. Real-time PCR has catalysed wider acceptance because it is more rapid, sensitive reproducible, while risk carryover contamination minimised. present study case-control design comprise total 58 patient with 29 patients were chronic infection additional hepatitis, 30 apparently healthy control subjects. In current study, fifty - eight diagnosed virus enrolled. correlations biomarkers viral load (chronic group) patients. B-catenin showed significant positive correlation group (r = 0.387, p 0.038).
