Polymorphisms in the TGFB1 and FOXP3 genes are associated with the presence of antinuclear antibodies in chronic hepatitis C

Chronic infection with Hepacivirus C (HCV) can lead to the occurrence of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) and changes in cytokine profiles that can be similar to autoimmune diseases. The aim of the study was to identify polymorphisms in important mediators of the immune response in association with ANA...
