Department of Gastroenterology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University Jing 5 Road, Jinan, P. R. China.
Background: IL-17A G197A and IL-17F A7488G gene polymorphisms are found to be associated with the risk of several diseases, however few studies have focused on their correlation with risk of liver cirrhosis (LC).
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of IL-17A G197A and IL-17F A7488G gene polymorphisms on development of LC from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in Chinese patients.
Methods: A total of 163 HBV-related LC patients and 168 CHB patients were enrolled in the present study.
