Forest plot of genetic association for TM6SF2 E167K polymorphism on inflammation status in chronic hepatitis C patients. Pooled dichotomous odds ratio of TM6SF2 E167K variant (EK + KK) on severe inflammationa compared to non-severe inflammation group in chronic hepatitis C patients. aSevere inflammation was defined as G13-G18 status in study applying Ishak criteria25 and G4 status in study applying Scheuer26 and METAVIR27 criteria.
