Abstract excerpt

This study aimed to determine the relationship between osteopontin gene polymorphisms and its protein level and the efficacy of interferon-based therapies in Hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. Hundreds HCV patients genotype 4, treated with pegylated interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin and 60 healthy subjects were enrolled. All individuals were subjected to clinical and laboratory parameters, including hepatitis...
