Abstract
A Single nucleotide polymorphism upstream of the interferon-λ3 gene, strongly linked to unprompted and treatment-induced HCV infection clearance. the present study was to assess the role of interleukin- 28 gene polymorphism (rs12979860 CC and rs8099917 TT) on HCV type 4 Egyptian patients treated with sovaldi. A total of 100 patients with HCV infection was included in this study. the diagnosis was based on elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), plasma albumin level, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, platelet and HB. Molecular characterization of 2 SNPs (rs 12979860CC and rs 8099917 TT) in heparinase gene: by molecular techniques (ARMs-PCR & RFLP). IL28B rs8099917 TT genotype is predominant among patients as well as the control followed by GT and the least prevalent was the GG genotype. Regarding iL28B rs8099917 Allele, HCV group was higher in G than the control group, while regarding to T, a control group was higher than HCV group. For polymorphism rs8099917, being higher among patients than controls. Regarding iL28B rs12979860, HCV group was higher in CT and TT than the control group, while regarding to CC, control group was higher than the HCV group. Regarding iL28B rs12979860 Allele, the HCV group was higher in T than control group, while regarding to C, a control group was higher than HCV group. patients with IL28B rs8099917 TT genotype are associated with a higher probability of spontaneous and treatment-induced HCV clearance than IL28B rs8099917 GT and GG allele carriers. HCV spontaneous clearance was higher in patients with the IL28B rs12979860 CC genotype compared to those with the CT and TT genotypes. Conclusively, treatment with sovaldi can be suggested in patients with IL28B TT genotype and L28B rs12979860 CC genotype to be more effective.
