Research Abstract

We identified the host genetic factors associated with side effects (anemia, neutropenia) against HCV treatment. These findings would enable to make selection of patients who will get successful treatment or who have few side-effects, by testing newly identified host genetic markers in combination with IL28B SNP. Moreover, we identified the association of HLA-DQB1 allele with HCV spontaneous clearance in Japanese HCV patients. DQB1 alleles would be key host factors to clear HCV, which will lead the following functional studies of HLA-DQ molecules in the future.
