Interleukin 18 promoter variants (−137G>C and −607C>A) in patients with chronic hepatitis C: association with treatment response

Recently, two functional IL18 promoter variants, −607C>A (rs1946518) and −137G>C (rs187238), were associated with viral clearance in patients with hepatitis C. The present study focused on their relevance for treatment response.
