HBV genotype B is associated with better response to interferon therapy in HBeAg(+) chronic hepatitis than genotype C.

Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.) - 1 Dec 2002

Wai Chun Tao, Chu Chi-Jen, Hussain Munira, Lok Anna S F

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and precore/core promoter mutations have been implicated in spontaneous and interferon alfa (IFN-alpha)-related hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion. We performed a retrospective analysis of a previously reported randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of HBV genotype and precore/core promoter mutations on IFN-alpha response in patients with HBeAg-positive...
