Genetic polymorphisms and effecacy of antivital therapy ofchronic viral hepatitis C
Abstract
Aim: to determine influence of genetic polymorphisms of hepatitis C virus and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of patients with chronic hepatitis C on achieving sustained virological response (SVR) to antiviral therapy. One hundred blood samples of eastern-Slavonic patients with different response to the therapy were analyzed. It was determined, that among SNPs of 7 human genes only allelic variants of IL-1β, IL-28B, TGF-β1 and viral genotypes can influence on probability to achieve SVR.
