Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a precursor to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, caused by a Hepatitis B viral infection. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted to find genes associated with CHB risk. In previous GWAS, EHMT2 was identified as one of the susceptibility genes for CHB. To further characterize this association and discover possible causal variants, we conducted an additional association study. A total...
