IL28B polymorphism and cytomegalovirus predict response to treatment in Egyptian HCV type 4 patients

Figure 1 Distribution of LI28B rs12979860 single nucleotide polymorphism alleles among a healthy Egyptian population, spontaneous clearance and chronic hepatitis C patients. A: A hundred healthy subjects representing ethnic backgrounds of the Egyptian population were typed for IL28B single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs 12979860. The distribution of different allele frequencies is depicted as a pie chart; B: Eighty four patients with spontaneous clearance from hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were typed for IL28B SNP rs 12979860. The distribution of different allele frequencies is depicted as a pie chart; C: A hundred and sixty six chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients with low F scores (F0-F2) were typed for IL28B SNP rs 12979860. The distribution of different allele frequencies is depicted as a pie chart.
