Comprehensive investigating of mismatch repair genes (MMR) polymorphisms in participants with chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

ABSTRACT: Background and aim: In this study, we focused on the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms in MMR genes and the occurrence and development of HBV infection. Materials and methods: A total of 3,128 participants were divided into five groups: negative control group (NeC), spontaneous clearance group (SC), chronic hepatitis B group (CHB), liver cirrhosis group (LC) and hepatocellular carcinoma group (HCC), CHB, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma constitute HLD. We conducted three case-control studies: NeC (840 cases) vs. HLD (1792 cases), SC (486 cases) vs. HLD (1792 cases) and CHB + LC (1,371 cases) vs. HCC (421 cases). 11 polymorphic loci in MLH1, MLH3, MSH5, PMS1 and PMS2 were involved in genotyping by Sequenom MassArray.
