Bad mRNA levels in HBV-related CH tissues were significantly higher (5.84 ± 2.0) than in the HCV-related CH tissues (3.93 ± 1.6; P = 0.016) (Figure 2B) and patients with genotype 1 HCV (3.93 ± 1.2) expressed higher Bad mRNA levels than patients with genotype 4 (2.56 ± 0.5; P = 0.046). Here, BAD is linked to cyclic hematopoiesis.
