| Conclusion | The sorted genes allow us to draw novel hypotheses for future studies of HCV infection to ultimately identify bona fide genes and their variations.;No associations were observed between polymorphisms of TNF-alpha, IL-10, or IFN-gamma and viral clearance or persistent infection. Furthermore, there were no associations between cytokine genotypes and severity of disease. Inheritance of some genotypes associated with polymorphisms of cytokine genes, such as IL-6, may be host genetic factors associated;No associations were observed between polymorphisms of TNF-alpha, IL-10, or IFN-gamma and viral clearance or persistent infection.
