Occult hepatitis C virus infection in hemophilia patients and its correlation with interferon lambda 3 and 4 polymorphisms.

In conclusion, we studied the incidence of OCI in Iranian patients with hemophilia for the first time. Our results demonstrated that unfavorable genotypes of IFNL3 SNPs and IFNL4 ss469415590 have a strong relationship with OCI positivity. It seems that the host immune response plays a vital role in OCI positivity. PMID: 31838260 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
