Hepatitis B Virus
HBV infection and severity involves receptor and gene polymorphism associations
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, July 3rd, 2006
"1,25-dihydroxyvitamin-D is involved in immunomodulation. Expression of vitamin-D receptors in hepatocytes suggests its role in hepatocellular injury. We studied the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes involved in immunoregulatory functions of vitamin-D with susceptibility, severity and persistence of HBV infection," wrote P.V. Suneetha and colleagues, GB Pant Hospital.
"Five polymorphisms in VDR, CCR5, TNF-alpha and TNF-beta were studied in...
