Increasing evidence suggests that interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) gene promoter polymorphisms
may be associated with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and HCV clearance. To …

A relationship between chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and interleukin-10 (IL-10)
gene polymorphisms has been reported with controversial results in different studies. In an …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the main cause of chronic liver disease throughout the
world, and may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Immunological …

Immuneregulatory cytokines may influence the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection outcome.
This study aimed to determine the genotypic and allelic frequencies of the interleukin (IL)-10 …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with both viral and host factors. Cytokines,
such as interferon (IFN)-λ, play a critical role in modulating the innate and adaptive immune …

Objective HCV infection has a chronicity rate of about 70%, several studies have shown that
interleukin-18 (IL-18) was associated with etiology and progression of hepatitis C virus …

The influence of an immunosuppressive cytokine, interleukin-10 (IL-10), on the outcome of
hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been increasingly reported recently. A number of …

Background Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is an important cytokine with anti-inflammatory, anti-
immune and anti-fibrotic functions. This study aimed at evaluating the relationship between …

Host genetic variation may affect the outcome of chronic viral hepatitides, favoring viral
clearance and/or modulating the inflammatory response to persistent infection. Our aims …

High prevalence of hepatitis c virus (HCV) infection in some areas necessitates more
investigations of the causative factors. Genetic factors that cause disruption in operation or …
