We have evaluated the involvement of these variants in the susceptibility to HCV infection, the severity of liver damage and progression of fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C. A cohort of 197 patients with chronic hepatitis C and 100 controls were analysed for both polymorphisms by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer using specific probes and the Lightcycler system.].
