Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and Susceptibility to Chronic Viral Hepatitis B and C Infections

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) and Susceptibility to Chronic Viral Hepatitis B and C Infections

The cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) gene is a negative regulator of T lymphocyte activation and proliferation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) occurring on the CTLA-4 gene can modify the ability to control the proliferation of T lymphocytes, thereby impacting the clearance of hepati...
