Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) upstream of the IL28 gene (rs12979860) has been reported to predict sustained virological response to peginterferon-ribavirin therapy in chronic HCV patients. In addition, two functionally deficient variants (rs1127354 and rs7270101) of inosine triphosphatas...
