Association of LEPR gene polymorphisms with the risk of hepatitis B virus-related liver disease in Guangxi Chinese: A case-control study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that the genetic variants of the LEPR gene are not associated with the risk of HBV-related liver diseases (CHB, LC, and HCC) in the Guangxi population. Further studies are necessary to validate these results.
