The Role of MicroRNAs in Response to Interferon Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis C patients.

Journal Title: Electronic Physician - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2

Abstract

Treatment of HCV using a combination of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin fails in about 40% of the patients with HCV genotype 4 infections, and it is physically and economically demanding. Thus, it is highly important to identify factors that can help to predict the likelihood that a patient will respond to this treatment.
