Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified two host single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the IL28B gene (rs12979860 C/T and rs8099917 T/G) that are associated with sustained virological response in patients infected with the hepatitis C virus. Herein, we describe a rapid multiplexed dual-color fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) probe assay that accurately genotypes for both SNPs...
