IL28B polymorphisms predict the response to chronic hepatitis C virus infection treatment in a Mexican population

Introduction. The treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 with ribavirin (RBV) and pegylated-interferon alpha (peg-IFNα) provides a low-level sustained virological response (SVR).
