Abstract: In multivariate regression analyses, multiplicative interaction of rs1053004 with
T1674C/G significantly increased
HCC risk, whereas rs2293152 and
A1726C interaction reduced it, adjusting for covariates including HBV mutations in the
enhancer II/
basal core promoter/
precore region; the interaction of rs4796793 with
preS2 start codon mutation significantly increased
HCC risk, adjusting for covariates including HBV mutations in the
preS region.
Abstract: rs2293152 GG was significantly associated with high viral load (>=1 x 10(4) copies/mL) (AOR, 1.37; 95%, CI 1.01-1.88) and increased frequencies of
