Sustained viral response and treatment-induced cytopenia correlate with SLCs and KLF12 genotypes in interferon/ribavirin-treated Chinese chronic hepatitis C patients
Genetic variations in solute carrier (SLC) genes are associated with liver diseases, and Kruppel-like factor 12 (KLF12) affects the b chain of hemoglobin. We investigated possible correlations of SLC and KLF12 polymorphisms with viral clearance (spontaneous and treatment-induced) and adverse effects in Chinese chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.
