Gene Expression in Hepatitis

As we know hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the one of the fatal cancers worldwide. HCC is caused in those people who are infected with chronic HBV or HCV. More than 350 million people worldwide are known to be chronic carriers of HBV and HCV. Therefore to bring an clarification of the genetic portraits of hepatocarcinogenesis caused by HBV and HCV which may provide some clue for decreasing the incidence on HCC. Recent development of DNA microarray technique, a type of high-throughput analysis for gene expression, has opened a new medical science.
