Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the link between specific genetic variations (SNPs) in the IFN-γ gene and the likelihood of developing cirrhosis due to hepatitis B in a Chinese population.
- Researchers used a genotyping technique on 230 patients with HBV-related cirrhosis and 320 healthy carriers, finding significant differences in allele and genotype distributions between the two groups.
- The results suggest that certain genotypes (AG, GG) and alleles (G) increase the risk for cirrhosis, while the AA haplotype appears to provide some protection against the disease.
