Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Recent studies have shown that serum vitamin D deficiency is a negative predictor of response to peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy for Caucasian patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms associate with antiviral response in Asian CHC patients remains unclear. METHODS: We recruited 139 Asian patients with CHC genotype-1 who achieved 80/80/80...
