Has anyone here been genotyped for polymorphism? An indicator for severe depression with tx?  http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/731841

Several members have. Personally, I'd rather be CC genotyped, have the greater risk of depression, but also have a much greater chance of clearing the virus. Most treatment related depression can be dealt with with meds.
So I've heard.

You might be referring to the testing discussed in this thread:

Yes, there are at least of couple/few people who have been so tested.

Personally, I think it would be fun to guess - or bet on the expected results if other people would undergo the test while in treatment.  We see interesting behavior around here sometimes...
