Mysterious Linkages Between Hepatitis C Virus Genotypes, Interleukin-28B Genotypes and Viral Clearance- A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) have shown important roles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) near region of interleukin B 28 (IL28B) gene in spontaneous and drug-induced clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in genotype 1 HCV infection. OBJECTIVES This meta-analysis was designed to determine the world-wide distribution patterns of IL28B genotypes and alleles, an...
متن کاملmysterious linkages between hepatitis c virus genotypes, interleukin-28b genotypes and viral clearance- a meta-analysis
conclusions there were significant linkages between hcv genotypes and il28b genotypes/alleles. patients with a favorable il28b and genotypes 1 and 4 hcv infection stand a better chance to clear hcv in the acute phase. objectives this meta-analysis was designed to determine the world-wide distribution patterns of il28b genotypes and alleles, and to find possible linkages between il28b and hcv ge...
متن کاملRole of Interleukin-28B Genetic Polymorphisms in Korean Patients with Hepatitis C Virus Infection
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study investigated the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) near the interleukin-28B (IL28B) gene with respect to clinical outcomes and the antiviral response in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to suggest the practical utility of IL28B genotyping in Korea. METHODS Two SNPs near IL28B, rs12979860 and rs8099917, were analyzed using an allelic discrimination assa...
متن کاملInterleukin-21 rs2055979 and Interleukin-21 receptor rs3093390 genetic variants and hepatitis C virus chronic infection
Aim The aim of this case-control study was to investigate association of G/T IL-21 (rs2055979) and C/T IL-21R (rs3093390) gene polymorphisms with chronic hepatitis C virus in Iranian Patients. Background Interleukin 21 (IL-21) has a significant function in the regulation of cellular immune responses. Its exclusive receptor, IL-21R, expressed on the surface of T, B and NK cells and is importan...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus infection and genotypes in blood donors
Abstract: Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is important for designing therapeutic strategies and regional specific diagnostic assays. The aim of this study was to identify the HCV genotypes in HCV infected blood donors. This is the first report on HCV genotypes in blood donors in Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 103 blood donors with hepatitis C were investigated for HCV genotype...
