Notes: “Drinker” was defined as alcohol consumption of ≥40 g/week for men and ≥20 g/week for women, which included occasional drinkers and daily drinkers. The genotype distributions of SNPs in each group were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. P values were given for the comparison between ASC and HBV-ALF groups by χ2 tests. TBil, total bilirubin; ASC, asymptomatic HBV carriers; HBV-ALF, patients with HBV-related acute liver failure.
