IFIH1 and chronic hepatitis C virus infection: Our research shows that DHX58 rs2074158-G allele (dominant model: adjusted OR = 1.53, 95% CI [1.20–1.95], P = 0.001; additive model: adjusted OR = 1.50, 95% CI [1.27–1.78], P < 0.001) and IFIH1 rs10930046-C allele (additive model: adjusted OR = 1.26, 95% CI [1.07–1.49], P = 0.005) were associated with chronic hepatitis C (CHC).
