IL28B polymorphism (rs12979860) associated with clearance of HCV infection in Poland: Systematic review of its prevalence in chronic hepatitis C patients and general population frequency.

CONCLUSIONS: Events of spontaneous viral clearance can fully explain differences between genotype distributions in general population and chronic HCV subjects and a departure from the genetic equilibrium. This is the first study estimating the prevalence of IL28B rs12979860 SNP in the Southern Poland population based on a random representative sample. PMID: 25712648 [PubMed - in process]
