Abstract excerpt

The role of interleukin (IL)28B has been deepened in the treatment response to pegylated-interferon in patients affected by chronic hepatitis C (CHC). However, recently the IL28B genotypes were also related to hepatic fibrosis progression in untreated patients, using the liver biopsy. The aim of this prospective and longitudinal study was to assess the role of different IL28B genotypes in the liver stiffness...
