dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Multivariate analysis in overall patients revealed that cirrhosis (HR: 2.94, 95% CI: 1.81-4.77, p < 0.001), IL28B rs12979860 (CT + TT) polymorphisms (HR: 3.22, 95% CI: 2.17-4.78, p < 0.001), and high APRI levels (≥2.57) (HR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.47-3.67, p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for HCC. 29254684

2018

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE This study aimed to determine whether IL28B rs12979860 polymorphism is also associated with development of hepatocellular carcinoma both in chronic HCV infection and in non-viral-related cirrhosis. 27083168

2017

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Serum miR-126, miR-129, miR-203a, and miR-223 were upregulated in severe fibrosis (≥F3) and cirrhosis (F4) compared with F0-F2 and F0-F3, respectively. miR-221 was upregulated in ≥F3, but unchanged in F4. miR-155, miR-199a, and IFNL3 rs12979860 genotype were not significantly different in all comparisons. 28211229

2017

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE The results of this study suggest that IL28B rs12979860 TT or rs12980275 GG may play an important protective role against the development of advanced fibrosis and even cirrhosis. 28253210

2017

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE In this phase 3, randomized, open-label, noninferiority study, 602 patients were randomly assigned (2:1) to daclatasvir vs telaprevir, stratified by IL28B rs12979860 host genotype (CC vs non-CC), cirrhosis status (compensated cirrhosis vs no cirrhosis), and HCV GT1 subtype (GT1a vs GT1b). 27022224

2016

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE IL28B genetic variations (rs12979860) were genotyped by pyrosequencing of DNA samples from 137 individuals with chronic HBV infection [50 inactive carriers (IC), 34 chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 27 cirrhosis, 26 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)], and 19 healthy controls. 25837166

2015

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the epidermal growth factor (EGF, rs4444903), patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3, rs738409) genes, and near the interleukin-28B (IL28B, rs12979860) gene are linked to treatment response, fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis C. Whether these SNPs independently or in combination predict clinical deterioration in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis is unknown. 25504078

2014

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Cirrhosis and rapid virological response to peginterferon plus ribavirin determine treatment outcome in HCV-1 IL28B rs12979860 CC patients. 23936821

2013

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE IL-28B rs12979860 C/T polymorphism T allele is more prevalent in patients with viral cirrhosis due to HCV in comparison to other aetiologies and to patients with mild chronic hepatitis C. Among OLT patients, carriage of this allele seems to augment the risk of developing HCC. 21146242

2011

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE Recently, the rs12979860 C/T polymorphism in the IL28B gene has been linked to progression towards cirrhosis in HCV mono-infected patients and to treatment response of HCV-infection in HIV/HCV co-infected patients. 21813376

2011

dbSNP: rs12979860
rs12979860
0.100 GeneticVariation BEFREE The IL28B rs12979860 CC genotype is associated with a higher prevalence of cirrhosis in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients than CT/TT genotypes, suggesting that IL28B CC carriers may experience a more rapid progression of HCV-related liver fibrosis, perhaps as result of increased liver inflammation. 21592993
