Abstract excerpt
We focused on determining the most accurate and convenient genotyping methods and most appropriate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) among four such polymorphisms associated with interleukin-28B (IL-28B) in order to design tailor-made therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. First, five different methods (direct sequencing, high-resolution melting analysis [HRM], hybridization probe...
