Our results suggest that HULC rs7763881 A/C might be a biomarker for HBV susceptibility. Larger sample studies are needed to confirm our preliminary data. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to investigate the relevance of miR-372 (rs28461391 C/T) and HULC (rs7763881 A/C) gene polymorphisms to the risk of HBV infection in the Egyptian population.
