IL-10 lower transcriptional -824 T allele, -1087 A allele, and -1087/-824 haplotypes AT and AC are risk factors for the progression of liver fibrosis in HCV-related chronic liver disease.
C602A and T1559C may be independent risk factors for essential hypertension in the Chinese population, whereas T1880C is not.
