Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Anaemia is a common side-effect of ribavirin (RBV) use that overwhelms management of hepatitis C when protease inhibitors are added. AIM: To assess the pharmacogenomic impact of candidate genes SLC28A2, SLC28A3 and ITPA on anaemia in patients receiving triple therapy. METHODS: Patients (n=161) with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 treated with telaprevir (n=95) or boceprevir (n=66) were included. Using...
