## Abstract Substitution of amino acid (aa) 70 and 91 in the core region of HCV genotype 1b is a useful pretreatment predictor of efficacy of 48โweek peginterferon (PEGโIFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) therapy. Here, we determined the efficacy of 72โweek PEGโIFN/RBV and the predictive factors to such ther
## Abstract A study was carried out to determine whether early viral dynamics retain prediction of the outcome of peginterferon (PEGโIFN) and ribavirin combination therapy based on different genetic polymorphisms near the __IL28B__ gene, the strongest baseline predictor of response to this therapy.
