Abstract excerpt

There is a strong association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment efficacy and the interleukin (IL)-28B gene. However, the IL-28B variant's distribution and potential role in the therapeutic response are not well established in Taitung, a racially diverse county in Taiwan. Here, we investigated the distribution pattern of IL-28B rs8099917 and its influence on treatment efficacy. In this retrospective study,...
