Association analysis of KIR/HLA genotype with liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and NUC freedom in chronic hepatitis B patients

Abstract Natural killer cells are modulated through the binding of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I ligands. This study investigated the association of KIR/HLA pairs with progression to liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) develop...
