CD40 is an important costimulatory molecule in both cellular and humoral immune responses, involved in the pathogenic processes of chronic inflammatory diseases. Few studies were performed on the association of CD40 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In this study, we studied whether the CD40-1C/T polymorphism had any effect on the progression of chronic HBV infection in Chinese population.
