Detection of IL28B SNP DNA from buccal epithelial cells, small amounts of serum, and dried blood spots.

Detection of IL28B SNP DNA from buccal epithelial cells, small amounts of serum, and dried blood spots.

BACKGROUND & AIMS:Point mutations in the coding region of the interleukin 28 gene (rs12979860) have recently been identified for predicting the outcome of treatment of hepatitis C virus infection. This polymorphism detection was based on whole blood DNA extraction. Alternatively, DNA for genetic...
