• Impact of IL28B-Related Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms on Liver Histopathology in Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 2 and 3 

      Rembeck, Karolina; Alsiö, Åsa; Christensen, Peer Brehm; Färkkilä, Martti; Langeland, Nina; Buhl, Mads Rauning; Pedersen, Court; Mørch, Kristine; Westin, Johan; Lindh, Magnus; Hellstrand, Kristoffer; Norkrans, Gunnar; Lagging, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-01-13)
      Background and Aims: Recently, several genome-wide association studies have revealed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in proximity to IL28B predict spontaneous clearance of HCV infection as well as outcome ...
    • PNPLA 3 I148M genetic variant associates with insulin resistance and baseline viral load in HCV genotype 2 but not in genotype 3 infection 

      Rembeck, Karolina; Maglio, Cristina; Lagging, Martin; Christensen, Peer Brehm; Färkkilä, Martti; Langeland, Nina; Mørch, Kristine; Buhl, Mads R.; Pedersen, Court; Norkrans, Gunnar; Hellstrand, Kristoffer; Lindh, Magnus; Pirazzi, Carlo; Burza, Maria A.; Romeo, Stefano; Westin, Johan; for the NORDynamIC group (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-09-14)
      Background: Hepatic steatosis in HCV patients has been postulated as a risk factor associated with a higher frequency of fibrosis and cirrhosis. A single genetic variant, PNPLA3 I148M, has been widely associated with ...
    • Presence of interferon-λ 4, male gender, absent/mild steatosis and low viral load augment antibody levels to hepatitis C virus 

      Waldenström, Jesper; Hellstrand, Kristoffer; Westin, Johan; Nilsson, Staffan; Christensen, Peer; Färkkilä, Martti; Mørch, Kristine; Langeland, Nina; Norkrans, Gunnar; Lagging, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Objectives Despite recombinant interferon-λ 4 (IFN-λ4) demonstrating anti-viral activity in vitro and the ancestral functional gene (IFNL4) being conserved in all other primates, there has been speculation that IFN-λ4 may ...
