## Abstract For chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, evaluation of response to peginterferon (PEGβIFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) therapy based on viral kinetics is useful as an early predictor of treatment efficacy, but the underlying mechanisms of the different viral kinetics to treatment are sti
## Abstract Patients with high viral load (β₯1.0βΓβ10^5^ 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 The course and outcome in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b with partial early virologic response during combination therapy with peginterferon and ribavirin, in whom serum HCV RNA is detectable but has decreased by more than 2βlog~10~ 12 weeks after the start o
## Abstract Variation at the ILβ28B locus was recently reported to be a significant predictive factor of viral response to pegylatedβinterferon plus ribavirin combination therapy against chronic hepatitis C. Predictive factors for the effect of therapy, including ILβ28B polymorphism rs8099917 and v
In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the influence of the genetic heterogeneity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the progression of liver disease and on the responsiveness to interferon therapy is a matter of controversy. In this study we evaluated the genetic complexity of HCV by singlestrand con
