Genetic variants in antigen presentation-related genes influence susceptibility to hepatitis C virus and viral clearance: a case control study

Abstract

Our results suggested that genetic variants in antigen presentation pathway had influence on susceptibility to HCV infection and viral clearance. HLA-DMA rs1063478, HLA-DOA rs2284191, and HLA-DOB rs7383287 were identified as novel loci in Chinese population that were involved in HCV infection.
