The polymorphism of cytokine genes (11-1 beta, IL-10, IL-6, andTGF-beta 1) in patients with chronic C hepatitis and in healthy individuals was studied. The study found that the polymorphism of IL-10, IL-6, and TGF-beta 1 may at least partially explain the genetic predisposition to an aggressive course of the disease with the development of terminal stage.
