Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with response to peginterferon plus ribavirin in Asian patients with chronic hepatitis C

Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with response to peginterferon plus ribavirin in Asian patients with chronic hepatitis C

Recent studies have shown that serum vitamin D deficiency is a negative predictor of response to peginterferon plus ribavirin therapy for Caucasian patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Whether vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms associate with antiviral response in Asian CHC patients rem...
