USE OF TNF-alpha PROMOTER POLYMORPHISMS FOR PREDICTING SUSCEPTIBILITY TO THE CLEARANCE OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION

摘要

The present invention is confirmed, TNF-α promoter polymorphisms as based on the finding that the relationship is very close between genetic susceptibility to the development of a TNF-α promoter polymorphism and hepatitis B virus infections natural healing or chronic persistent hepatitis of viral susceptibility to natural healing progression of hepatitis B or chronic persistent hepatitis provides a method for predicting and provides diagnostic kits for predicting it.
