Abstract excerpt
IL28B polymorphism is associated with the response to pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin (PEG-IFN-α/RBV) treatment in chronic hepatitis C patients. As a genotyping assay for IL28B single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in clinical practice, the Invader Plus assay was developed. The accuracy, intra-assay, inter-assay precision, and the limit of detection of the Invader Plus assay were evaluated. Two SNPs...
