Abstract

Currently, the arsenal of prognostic factors for response to antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis C with combination of pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin is enlarged by host genetic factors - single nucleotide polymorphisms rs2979860 and rs8099917 of IL-28B gene. Based on the determination of these parameters, individualization of antiviral treatment of chronic hepatitis C is feasible now.
