Background:Previous studies in Indonesia with a limited sample of HIV-1 subtypes revealed that HIV-1 subtype distribution and mode of transmission differed between the regions. This analysis aimed to describe subtypes and mode of transmission of HIV-1 in wider area in Indonesia. Methods:This analysis used a part of HIV/AIDS cross sectional study in seven provinces in Indonesia in 2011 among …
Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a multifactorial genetic disease, characteristically endemic and shows considerable differences in its geographical distribution. Besides infection with EBV, genetic factors such as polymorphisms of TCR-β gene contribute to the incidence of NPC. This study investigates the association of TCR-β gene polymorphisms with individual susceptibility to d…
Variasi genetik virus hepatitis B (VHB) dapat mempengaruhi manifestasi klinis, risiko karsinoma hepatoselular (KH), dan respons terhadap terapi antiviral. Desain penelitian adalah analitik cross-sectional yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat perbedaan distribusi genotipe dan subtipe VHB pada berbagai manifestasi klinis hepatitis B kronik di Pekanbaru. Sebanyak lima puluh dua serum pe…
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is retrovirus that can decrease immune system in human body. There are two types of HIV which could be genetically specified as HIV-I and HIV-2. HIV-I consists of three groups: M, N, and 0. The 'M' group is further classified as nine subtypes i. e, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I subtypes. In certain condition, two viruses from different subtypes can mix and form a hy…
