ASSALAMUALAIKUM

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of liver cancer which is associated with chronic infection of liver by Hepatitis C virus (HCV) or B virus (HBV).

The causes and risk factors vary from person to person which makes early identification of HCC difficult.

Role of genetic polymorphisms in HCV induced hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer)

Genetic polymorphism is the occurrence of different types or forms of genes in a particular species.  

- Researchers have found that the study of genetic polymorphisms can be used to detect the disease at an early stage.

- Persons with specific polymorphic genes were protected against  hepatocellular carcinoma, with or without Hepatitis B or C virus.

- More detailed study can help the screening for specific genetic markers, to identify HCC at an early stage.  

INSHAALLAH it will help you!

Genetic polymorphisms is formed through multiple alleles at individual loci which helps in providing a mechanism to tag a gene or a piece of DNA. Some of these investigations are described as identification of genotypes in paternity and forensic studies and movement of individuals in field studies and progress of selection experiments in cage populations like mapping of quantitative loci affecting economical traits in plants and animals beings.
