Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms near the interleukin 28B (IL-28B) gene have been identified as strong predictors of both spontaneous or Peg-interferon (Peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) induced clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Several studies have shown that, in patients with genotype 1 (GT-1), rs12979860 C/C and rs8099917 T/T substitutions are associated with a more than twofold increase in sustained virological...
