The natural course of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is likely related to host immune factors. Interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a significant role in immune defense. This study was undertaken to determine the association between the presence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-18 gene in HBV-infected patients.
