Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To evaluate the roles of HLAclass I, KIR genes and their combination in Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (CHC), a total of 301 CHCs and 239 controls in a Chinese Han population were included for HLA and KIR genotyping using next-generation sequencing and multiplex PCR sequence-specific priming, respectively. 30932338 2019
CUI: C0019196
Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In particular, members of the killer-cell Ig-like receptor (KIR) family, predominantly expressed by NK cells, have been associated with the outcome of hepatitis C virus infection and clearance of hepatocellular carcinoma. 30779432 2019
CUI: C0019196
Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE HLA-B, HLA-C and KIR improve the predictive value of IFNL3 for Hepatitis C spontaneous clearance. 29330418 2018
CUI: C0019196
Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) modulate disease progression of pathogens including HIV, malaria, and hepatitis C. Cynomolgus and rhesus macaques are widely used as nonhuman primate models to study human pathogens, and so, considerable effort has been put into characterizing their KIR genetics. 28343239 2017
CUI: C0019196
Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) genes are known to play a role in the acute phase of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. 29354127 2017
CUI: C0019196

0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Genetic diversity of the KIR/HLA system and susceptibility to hepatitis C virus-related diseases. 25700262 2015
CUI: C0019196
Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE The study of KIR receptors may be a powerful tool for predicting the combined treatment response in patients with chronic HCV infection in association with the determination of IFNL3 polymorphism. 24927414 2014
CUI: C0019196

Hepatitis C
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE In this study, the frequency of KIR genes, HLA-C allotypes, and combinations of KIR genes with their HLA-C ligands were evaluated in two different groups of the Korean population: controls and patients with chronic HCV infection. 22065905 2011
CUI: C0019196
Disease: Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility that KIR genes and their human leukocyte antigen (HLA) ligands influence progression to cirrhosis in patients infected with genotype 1 of HCV. 21920398 2011
CUI: C0019196
