- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to determine whether IGF2 polymorphisms are associated with the clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A total of 1095 Korean subjects were prospectively enrolled in this case-control study. The rates of IGF2 polymorphisms were determined in each group. The IGF2+820G allele (IGF2+820G/G) and the IGF2+6815A/A genotype were strongly associated with the resolution of HBV infection (OR=0.62-0.73; P=0.001-0.03 and OR=0.71; P=0.03, respectively). Haplotype analysis showed that IGF2-haplotype5 (A-C-C-T-A-T-G) and IGF2-haplotype1 (T-C-T-T-A-C-A) were significantly associated with the clearance and persistence of HBV infection (OR=0.55-0.58, P=0.009-0.01 and OR=1.31-1.65, P=0.001-0.007, respectively). On the other hand, the IGF2+2482C/C or +820G/G genotypes were significantly associated with a higher risk of HCC (OR=1.88, 1.68; P=0.04). IGF2 polymorphisms were found to be strongly associated with the clearance of HBV or the occurrence of HCC in patients with chronic HBV infection.
