Association of Tim-3 Polymorphisms with Susceptibility of HBV Infection, HBsAg Seroclearance and HBV-Associated HCC.

aAllelic: major allele “A” vs. minor allele “B”; dominant gene mode: AA vs. AB + BB; recessive gene mode: AA + AB vs. BB. Additive gene mode: AA vs. AB vs. BB.bP* value was calculated between HBV and healthy controls.cP** value was calculated between HBV and HBsAg Seroclearance.dP*** value was calculated between HBV and HCC. All results were adjusted for age and sex. PAbbreviations: SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio.
