Factors influencing the progression of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are poorly understood. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is a potent chemokine, and its hepatic expression is up-regulated during chronic HCV infection mainly in activated hepatic stellate cells (HSC). In this study, we investigated the correlation of the functional -2518 MCP-1 promoter polymorphism with hepatic MCP-1 expression and the disease outcome in patients with HCV.
