Polymorphisms in CISH Gene Are Associated with Persistent Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Han Chinese Population
BACKGROUND AND AIM Cytokine-inducible SRC homology 2 domain protein (CISH) is the first member of the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) protein family. An association between multiple CISH polymorphisms and susceptibility to infectious diseases has been reported. This study aimed to investigate the possible association of these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CISH gene with dif...
متن کاملAssociation between Hepatitis B Virus Infection Outcome and HLA-A and DRB1 Genotyping in North Part of Iran
Background and Objective: The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may be influenced by host factors like Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA). We have investigated HLA-A and DRB1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis B infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from HBV infection. To complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain HLA ...
متن کاملRelationship between TNF-<alpha> Gene Promoter Polymorphisms and Outcomes of Hepatitis B Virus Infections: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND The clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a complex process which may be influenced by many factors including polymorphisms in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) gene promoter. However, previous reports regarding the relationship between polymorphisms in the TNF- promoter and HBV clearance have been inconsistent. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis on a larg...
متن کاملAssociation of interleukin 18 gene promoter polymorphisms with HBV recurrence after liver transplantation in Han Chinese population
BACKGROUND There is growing evidence suggesting that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in viral clearance and disease pathogenesis, and that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the gene may influence its production. OBJECTIVES To investigate the potential association of two polymorphisms ( 137G/C and 607C/A) in the promoter region of the IL-18 gene with the risk of HBV rec...
متن کاملNo association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in pre-mirnas and the risk of gastric cancer in Chinese population
Objective(s): Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that miRNAs contribute to various genetic and epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (GC). Recent studies focused on the four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pre-miRNAs including rs11614913, rs3746444, rs2910164, and rs2292832. It was suggested that these four SNPs were significantly associated with the risk ...
