IL-28B rs12979860 C/T allele distribution in patients with liver cirrhosis: role in the course of chronic viral hepatitis and the development of HCC.
Carlo Fabris,Edmondo Falleti,Annarosa Cussigh,Davide Bitetto,Elisabetta Fontanini,S. Bignulin,Sara Cmet,Ezio Fornasiere,Elisa Fumolo,Stefano Fangazio,Andrea Cerutti,Rosalba Minisini,Mario Pirisi,Pierluigi Toniutto +13 more
TL;DR: IL-28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism T allele is more prevalent in patients with viral cirrhosis due to HCV in comparison to other aetiologies and to patients with mild chronic hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D supplementation improves response to antiviral treatment for recurrent hepatitis C.
Davide Bitetto,Carlo Fabris,Ezio Fornasiere,Corrado Pipan,Elisa Fumolo,Annarosa Cussigh,S. Bignulin,Sara Cmet,Elisabetta Fontanini,Edmondo Falleti,Romina Martinella,Mario Pirisi,Pierluigi Toniutto +12 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, vitamin D deficiency predicts an unfavourable response to antiviral treatment of RHC and vitamin D supplementation improves the probability of achieving a SVR following antiviral therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complementary role of vitamin D deficiency and the interleukin‐28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism in predicting antiviral response in chronic hepatitis C
Davide Bitetto,Giovanna Fattovich,Carlo Fabris,E. Ceriani,Edmondo Falleti,Ezio Fornasiere,Michela Pasino,D. Ieluzzi,Annarosa Cussigh,Sara Cmet,Mario Pirisi,Pierluigi Toniutto +11 more
TL;DR: Vitamin D serum levels are complementary to the IL‐28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism in enhancing the correct prediction of the SVR in treatment‐naïve chronic hepatitis C.
Journal ArticleDOI
PNPLA3 rs738409C/G polymorphism in cirrhosis: relationship with the aetiology of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma occurrence
Edmondo Falleti,Carlo Fabris,Sara Cmet,Annarosa Cussigh,Davide Bitetto,Elisabetta Fontanini,Ezio Fornasiere,S. Bignulin,Elisa Fumolo,Eleonora Bignulin,Mario Pirisi,Pierluigi Toniutto +11 more
TL;DR: The PNPLA3 rs738409 C>G polymorphism has been found to be strongly associated with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and with alcoholic liver disease, and could be a risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma in alcoholic cirrhosis
Edmondo Falleti,Davide Bitetto,Carlo Fabris,Annarosa Cussigh,Elisabetta Fontanini,Ezio Fornasiere,Elisa Fumolo,S. Bignulin,Sara Cmet,Rosalba Minisini,Mario Pirisi,Pierluigi Toniutto +11 more
TL;DR: VDR genetic polymorphisms are significantly associated with the occurrence of HCC in patients with liver cirrhosis, more specific for patients with an alcoholic etiology.
