Are integrin alpha V polymorphisms and haplotypes in a Korean population associated with susceptibility to chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma?
ITGAV SNPs and haplotypes may be genetic factors that increase the susceptibility of Koreans to chronic HBV infection and HBV-infected HCC.
Integrated HIV DNA levels accumulate with duration of untreated HIV infection. The relatively short half-life and high levels of 2-LTR circles after 1 year support continued HIV transmission during ART.
