Attempts to elucidate the mechanism underpinning the genetic association between IFNL3, previously called IL28B, and clearance of hepatitis C virus have, by and large, been unsuccessful. A study in this issue suggests that a new gene, IFNL4, may be responsible.
试图阐明 IFNL3(以前称为 IL28B)与丙型肝炎病毒清除之间遗传关联的机制的努力基本上都没有成功。本期中的一项研究表明,一个新的基因 IFNL4 可能是罪魁祸首。
