PREVALENCE OF -56C/T REGULATORY POLYMORPHISM IN INTERFERON-γ RECEPTOR 1 PROMOTER REGION KNOWN TO BE POTENTIAL RISK FACTOR FOR HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION IN NORTH INDIAN HEALTHY POPULATION

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), a defense molecule, mediates its response against viral infections like Hepatitis B virus by binding to interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1) on cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Hence, interferon gamma receptor 1 (IFNGR1) gene expression is vital in the eradication of the HBV virus. It has been demonstrated by some studies that -56C/T SNPs in IFNGR1 gene promoter region can b...
