Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unclear causes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its potential link to chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA).
- The prevalence of CPA was significantly higher in COPD patients than in those without COPD and healthy controls, indicating a potential relationship.
- It suggests that elevated levels of Interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor α in patients with ascariasis may raise the risk of CPA in COPD patients.
Aims: Genome-wide association studies highlighted single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IFNL3/IL28B locus predict the treatment outcome for patients with HCV. Furthermore, SNPs in newly discovered IFNL4 are shown to have population-specific correlation with spontaneous clearance of HCV. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and clinical significance of the outlined SNPs in a population from Central Asia, a multi-ethnic region with a developing economy and a high prevalence of HCV infection.
