Reassessment of biochemically determined Hunter syndrome carrier status by DNA testing.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is increasing interest in the influence of host genetic factors on hepatic fibrosis, and whether genetic markers can reliably identify subjects at risk of developing severe disease. We hypothesised that hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected subjects with progressive fibrosis, classified using strict criteri...
