Detection of IL28B SNP DNA from buccal epithelial cells, small amounts of serum, and dried blood spots.

BACKGROUND & AIMS:Point mutations in the coding region of the interleukin 28 gene (rs12979860) have recently been identified for predicting the outcome of treatment of hepatitis C virus infection. This polymorphism detection was based on whole blood DNA extraction. Alternatively, DNA for genetic...
