IL28b question

[undersiege]

I did not have the IL28b gene test. How much of a impact does it have on geno2b tx response.

Another study on IL28B impact on 2/3s including graphs showing SVR and relapse rates for all three SNPs.

Does that mean you have the "CC"Allele?I have the cc and my results didnt say favorable for SVR-just that I had it  cindy

I had a IL28B test and the results came back as "favourable for SVR" this was a complete surprise to me as I'm a 3 time non responder....!!

However, that what the test says, so don't know why I haven't responded.
So don't really have much confidence in it.

I'm a geno 1a. I'm going for the P.I.'s next!

An IL28B Polymorphism Determines Treatment Response of Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 2 or 3 Patients Who Do Not Achieve a Rapid Virologic Response

"An IL-28B polymorphism was associated with an SVR in patients infected with genotype 2/3 HCV who did not achieve a RVR. Analysis of IL-28B genotype might be used to guide treatment for these patients."
