Deciphering the interleukin 28B variants that better predict response to pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin therapy in HCV/HIV-1 coinfected patients.

Previous works have documented the contribution of different IL28B-associated SNPs to spontaneous HCV clearance. This study investigated the effect of different interleukin (IL) 28B genetic variants on interferon (IFN)-based therapy response. We genotyped eight IL28B single-nucleotide polymorphisms...
