Genetic factors associated with intestinal metaplasia in a high risk Singapore-Chinese population: a cohort study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic DNA virus, and its DNA may be a potent inflammatory molecule. Interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI16), a newly discovered DNA sensor, plays an important role in the process of inflammation in viral infections. Our study sought to identify a correlation between IFI16 ...
