## 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

Hepatitis G virus (HGV), a positive sense RNA virus, is distantly related to hepatitis C virus (HCV): its genetic organization and identity are consistent with the Flaviviridae family. Coinfection with HGV occurs in 10% to 20% of HCV-infected subjects. These similarities raise two theoretical questi

Only half of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and genotype-1 show a sustained antiviral response to the current antiviral therapy. The reason this treatment fails is unclear, and no reliable marker exists that predicts the treatment outcome. In the present study, we investigat
