Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current standard treatment for hepatitis C is a combination of pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin (peg-IFNα/RBV). Recent studies have shown that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the interleukin 28B (IL28B) gene coding for IFN-λ3 were associated with the antiviral treatment response. Therefore, in this study, we determined the distribution of the rs8099917 (T/G) polymorphism with...
