Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies of CH-C patients have demonstrated a strong association between IL28B CC genotype and sustained virologic response (SVR) after PEG-IFN/RBV treatment. We aimed to assess whether IL28B alleles rs12979860 genotype influences gene expression in response to PEG-IFN/RBV in CH-C patients. METHODS: Clinical data and gene expression data were available for 56 patients treated with PEG-IFN/RBV....
