Research Abstract

Interferon alfa(IFN-alpha) therapy remains a mainstay of treatment in chronic hepatitis C. However, sustained viral response rates(SVR) remain low, and the search for factors important for response to therapy continues. Our study aimed to identify the host single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) that predict IFN response in hepatitis C patients. We selected 16 genes (IFN-AR1, IFN-AR2, JAK1, TYK2, JAB(CIS), STAT1, STAT2, ISGF3G(IRF9), IRF1, IRF2, TAP1, TAP2, LMP7, PKR, MxA, IL-10) in the IFN signaling pathway involved in antiviral and signaling activities and immunity system. 269 SNPs for each of our 120(SVR : n=65 vs Non-SVR : n=55) patients were determined by invader assay. Statistical analysis identified 3 SNPs (IRF2-111 : OR 2.6 : P<0.01, MxA-200 : OR2.6 : P<0.02, IFNAR1-369 : OR3.4 : P<0.05) and Haplo type (IRF2-111/115 : T/G vs others : OR1.9 : P<0.03,C/A vs others : OR2.0 : P<0.04) statistically. In conclusion, this pilot identified SNPs as potential markers that could predict hepatitis C patient response.
