| Dimension: | N/A |
| Set-up: | on demand |
| Duration: | 7 days |
| Indication/Significance: | The most important prognosis marker for the natural progress and for the antiviral treatment of hepatitis C with drugs. |
| Interpretation: |
A spontaneous recovery more… A spontaneous recovery in HCV patients with the IL28B-CC genotype is twice as frequent as in patients with the TT genotype. Apart from the natural course of a hepatitis C infection, patients with the CC genotype also respond much better to drug treatment than patients with the TT genotype. |
