Abstract excerpt
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Interleukin-28B (IL28B) gene and rs4273729 in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) virus infection are important for predicting treatment outcome. In this study, the distribution of IL28B SNPs (rs12979860 and rs12980275) and HLA rs4273729 in rapid virologic response (RVR), complete early virologic response (cEVR) and sustained virologic...
