Abstract excerpt

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection disproportionately affects African-Americans (AAs) and is a major contributor to liver failure and mortality. Genetic factors may not be the only cause in outcome disparity. We retrospectively investigated whether genetic host factors, viral genotypes, and treatment compliance in AA patients impacted the efficacy and the sustained virological response (SVR) rate of the...
