Association of exon 9 but not intron 8 VDR polymorphisms with occult HBV infection in south‐eastern Iranian patients

Abstract

The polymorphisms in the T/T allele of exon 9 of VDR is possibly associated with OBI, thus it can be concluded that VDR and its functional polymorphisms are likely to be related to sensitivity and resistance of the immune system to HBV in OBI patients.
