prediction of hcv viral kinetics in interferon free treatment

摘要

prediction of hcv viral kinetics in interferon free treatment. The present invention is based on the discovery of associations that exist between single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) on chromosome 19 in the vicinity of the il-28b gene and on virological results from a diverse population of hepatitis c virus (hcv) patients who received Intereron-free treatment.
