Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To estimate the impact of interleukin 28B (IL28B) polymorphisms (rs12980275, rs8099917, rs7248668, and rs11881222) and their haplotypes on hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment (peg-interferon-α and ribavirin) success in 324 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients. We also explore the behavior of plasma cytokine levels. DESIGN: Retrospective follow-up study. METHODS: Virologic response to HCV treatment was measured...
