Targeting both rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphisms with a single-tube high-resolution melting assay for IL28b genotyping.

چکیده
A rapid, duplex, high-resolution melting interleukin-28B gene (IL28B) genotyping assay, targeting both rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphisms, was developed and validated using 30 DNA samples from healthy volunteers. A linkage study on 300 healthy Singaporeans showed variable haplotypes. When the assay was applied to plasma DNA from 50 hepatitis C virus genotype-1 (HCV-1)-infected patients, five compound heterozygous types were detected.

BACKGROUND In 2009, 3 genome-wide association studies implicated IL28B single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as the strongest genetic pretreatment predictor of sustained virological response (SVR) in hepatitis C infection. Recently, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) included IL28B testing in their gui...

Recent studies showed that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs12979860 and rs8099917) near the gene IL28B coding for IFNλ3 were associated with the antiviral treatment response of the combination therapy of pegIFN plus RBV. We established the use of tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) for detecting IL28B rs8099917 genotype (T>G) ...

Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a major burden for public health worldwide. Although newer direct-acting antivirals show good efficacy, their cost precludes their wide adoption in resource-limited regions. Thus, strategies are being developed to help identify patients with high susceptibility to response to classic PEG-interferon + ribavirin therapy. IL28B polymorphism rs12979860 C/T is an importa...
متن کاملThe rs8099917 polymorphism, when determined by a suitable genotyping method, is a better predictor for response to pegylated alpha interferon/ribavirin therapy in Japanese patients than other single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with interleukin-28B.
We focused on determining the most accurate and convenient genotyping methods and most appropriate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) among four such polymorphisms associated with interleukin-28B (IL-28B) in order to design tailor-made therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. First, five different methods (direct sequencing, high-resolution melting analysis [HRM], h...

HCV infection is a serious public health problem and a leading cause of chronic liver disease. It affects nearly 3% of the world's population with an associated high mortality. Egypt has the highest prevalence of HCV infection in the world (estimated at >10%). Peg-IFN-α and RBV are the most widely used therapy for HCV. Unfortunately, the rate of SVR is around 50%. In addition, it is expensive a...
