Prevalence of Thymine--Adenine Dinucleotide Repeat, IL28B and IFNL4 in Thai Population and Correlation with Spontaneous Clearance and Treatment Outcome of Hepatitis C Infection.

Prevalence of Thymine--Adenine Dinucleotide Repeat, IL28B and IFNL4 in Thai Population and Correlation with Spontaneous Clearance and Treatment Outcome of Hepatitis C Infection.

BACKGROUND:The interleukin-28B (IL28B) gene polymorphism is a strong baseline predictor of sustained virological response (SVR) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment. The length of thymine--adenine dinucleotide repeats, or (TA)n, in the regulatory region of IL28B can affect interferon transcription....
