Key Words	Chronic hepatitis B virus infection; Interleukin-6; Single nucleotide polymorphism; Genetic susceptibility; Haplotype
Core Tip	This study included a large number of subjects with a single ethnic background (Chinese). This would further add to the statistical power of the analysis and identify more single nucleotide polymorphisms. We selected self-limiting hepatitis B virus-infected subjects, but not unexposed subjects as controls, therefore, our results may be more reliable than other studies that recruited blood donors as controls. In addition, we included only antiviral-naive subjects.
