Abstract
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection (C‐HC) is associated with higher mortality arising from hepatic and extrahepatic disease. This may be due to accelerated biological aging; however, studies in C‐HC have thus far been based solely on telomere length as a biomarker of aging (BoA). In this study, we have evaluated CDKN2 locus transcripts as alternative BoAs in C‐HC. Our results suggest that C‐HC induces non‐cell‐autonomous senescence and accelerates biological aging. The CDKN2 locus may provide a link between C‐HC and increased susceptibility to age‐associated diseases and provides novel biomarkers for assessing its impact on aging processes in man.
