Host single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in different genes can play a role in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and influence the presence of hepatic fibrosis and comorbidities such as hepatic steatosis. We assessed the combined effect of SNPs in the PNPLA3, MTTP, TM6SF2, and IFNL3/IFNL4 genes in 288 Brazilian patients who were chronically infected with HCV. Hepatic fibrosis was observed in 246 (85.4%) patients and hepatic steatosis in 141 (49.0%) patients. PNPLA3 rs738409 (CG/GG) (P = 0.044) and TM6SF2 rs58542926 (C
