SR-BI and Antiviral Treatment Response in HCV

July 12, 2017 updated by: Ching-Sheng Hsu, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation

Influence of Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I (SR-BI) Gene Polymorphisms on Antiviral Treatment Response, and Metabolism in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients

The scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) is a receptor for high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and one of entry factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The investigators aimed to examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SCARB1 gene, which encodes SR-BI, with virologic responses to pegylated interferon-based treatment in Asian chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.

Detailed Description

  1. Purpose of study: To examine the impacts of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) relevant to SR-BI on CHC patients.
  2. Study Design To enroll 400 CHC patients during a 3-year period
  3. Specify objectives of study when collecting extra specimen from participants Collect blood samples for genomic DNA to examine the SR-BI gene polymorphisms.
  4. Expected Endpoints of Treatment Sustained virologic response (SVR) means undetectable serum HCV RNA levels 24 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy.
