Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Polymorphisms at the interleukin-28B (IL28B) gene predict therapeutic response in chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 (CHC-1) infection. The aim of the present study was to establish whether a unique single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) represents the whole predictive value of the IL28B haplotype for sustained viral response (SVR) and primary non-response (PNR). METHODS: SNP rs12979860 and...
