The Impact of Interferon Lambda 3 Gene Polymorphism on Natural Course and Treatment of Hepatitis C by F. Bellanti, G. Vendemiale, E. Altomare, G. Serviddio

“…Favourable variants of the two most widely studied IL28B polymorphisms, rs12979860 and rs8099917, are strong pretreatment predictors of early viral clearance and sustained viral response in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. Further investigations have implicated IL28B in the development of chronic HCV infection versus spontaneous resolution of acute infection and suggest that IL28B may be a key factor involved in host immunity against HCV. …”
