## Abstract Patients with high viral load (≥1.0 × 10^5^ IU/ml) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b do not achieve high sustained virological response rates to interferon (IFN)/ribavirin combination therapy. Previous studies suggested that pretreatment amino acid (aa) substitution patterns in the
## Abstract Interferon‐α (IFN‐α) has been used to treat hepatitis C Virus (HCV)‐induced infection but has been effective in only about half of all patients. It is suggested that the different responses to IFN‐α treatment in HCV infection may be influenced by HCV genotypes, HCV RNA titer at the begi
## Abstract Variation at the IL‐28B locus was recently reported to be a significant predictive factor of viral response to pegylated‐interferon plus ribavirin combination therapy against chronic hepatitis C. Predictive factors for the effect of therapy, including IL‐28B polymorphism rs8099917 and v
