Abstract

In 198 patients with chronic liver diseases of different etiology 16 genetic feature systems were investigated (blood groups, erythrocytic enzymes, immunoglobulin allotypes, proteins). In comparison to a representative normal population significant differences of the frequency of the distribution of phenotypes of various systems were found. In these cases is remarkable that association between genetic markers and hepatopathies were above all proved in their classification according to etiopathogenetic criteria. We evaluate our findings as a reference to the importance of genetic factors in the development of chronic liver diseases.
