Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C (HCV) in people who are also infected with HIV leads to faster liver disease progression compared to those with only HCV, potentially due to HLA-G, which suppresses immune responses.
- A study analyzed liver samples from 59 patients with both chronic HCV and HIV to look at HLA-G levels in relation to liver disease severity.
- The results showed that higher HLA-G expression was linked to more severe liver conditions but did not affect the effectiveness of HCV treatment, indicating HLA-G's complex role in disease progression in coinfected patients.
