Association between interleukin-18 gene promoter (−607C/A and −137G/C) polymorphisms and chronic hepatitis C virus infections: A meta-analysis

Conclusions The present meta-analysis suggested that IL-18 −137G/C polymorphism in promoter region was associated with chronic hepatitis C virus infections, but no evidence indicate association between −607C/A polymorphism and chronic hepatitis C virus infections. High-quality studies with larger sample size and larger number are warranted.
