## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1a is rare in Japanese patients and the clinical characteristics of this genotype remain unclear. The interferon (IFN) sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) and single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin‐28B (IL28B) among patients with HCV gen
## Abstract The interferon sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) is useful as a predictive marker of the response to interferon (IFN) therapy for chronic hepatitis patients with a Japan‐specific subtype (J‐type) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. This marker is not useful for predicting respon
A region associated with sensitivity to interferon (IFN) has been identified previously in the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. A study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of mutations in the NS5A 2209-2248 sequence could serve as a predictor of re
## Abstract The nonstructural 5B (NS5B) protein of hepatitis C virus possesses RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase activity and plays an essential role in viral replication. The mutations in NS5B were determined and the correlation with viral load and response to interferon (IFN) were assessed. The entire
