IL17A and cirrhosis of liver: The research of Ge et al. explored the IL17A-G197A gene polymorphism and found that IL17A-G197A was associated with a significant risk of liver cirrhosis susceptibility (OR = 4.186, p = 0.032) in a Chinese HVB-infected cohort, supporting the polymorphism’s role in fibrosis progression in viral liver disease as well [27].
