Abstract

Background: Multiple variables influencing the sustained virologic response (SVR) in chronic hepatitis C have been evaluated. One of them is genetic polymorphism near the IL28B gene.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of IL28B genotypes on SVR rates in a group of patients with chronic hepatitis C from the western part of Romania.
Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was performed in 107 consecutive patients, previously treated with standard-of-care medication for chronic hepatitis C, identified from the databases of 2 centers. Patient demographics, viral load before treatment and at 12, 24, and 72 weeks from the treatment start, and IL28B genotype were evaluated.
Results: Among the 107 patents in the study group, 54 patients had SVR (50.5%), and 62 (57.9%) showed a complete early virologic response (cEVR). The SVR rates according to IL28B genotype were as follows: 73.1% in patients with genotype C/C, 40.9% in those with genotype C/T, and 57.1% in those with genotype T/T (i.e., 73.1% among patients with the C/C genotype vs. 43.7% among those with non-C/C genotypes; P = 0.0126). The cEVR rates were 80.8% in patients with the C/C genotype vs. 51.2% in those with non-C/C genotypes (P = 0.011).
Conclusions: In our cohort of 107 Caucasian HCV patients, the SVR rate was 50.5% with standard-of-care treatment. The SVR rate was directly related to the IL28B genotype: 73.1% in the C/C genotype vs. 43.7% in non-C/C genotypes (P = 0.0126).

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:
Chronic C hepatitis is a global healthcare problem, affecting approximately 3% of world population, with sustained virologic response rates after treatment ranging from 34 to 61%. The genetic polymorphism near the IL28B gene, encoding interferon-lambda-3, is associated with different response rates to treatment. Reading this article is recommended to all interested in this subject.
