Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To assess the association between gene polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) of rs8099917 and rs12980602 in the IL-28 gene and the response to lamivudine treatment in naïve of Chinese rural patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Three hundred and fifty-four naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with lamivudine were enrolled in this study. Rs8099917 and rs12980602 SNPs were genotyped using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. Baseline characteristics and genotypes were compared between 181 patients with treatment response and 173 without response.
RESULTS
The IL-28 genotypes were independently associated with responses at 1 year post-treatment with lamivudine in CHB patients (OR for rs8099917 GT/GG vs. TT, 4.097 [95% CI, 1.342-12.512; p = 0.015]; OR for rs12980602CT/CC vs. TT, 2.27 [95% CI, 1.202-4.284; p =0.014]). When adjusting for age, gender, smoking, drinking, and levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, alanine aminotransferase, and HBV genotype, the rs8099917 genotype GT (OR, 4.025 [95% CI, 1.316-12.354; p = 0.013] and fibrosis stage (OR, 0.716 [95% CI, 0.432-0.986; p = 0.036] appeared to be associated with a higher probability of response to lamivudine treatment.
CONCLUSION
The genotype G/T for rs8099917 of IL-28 gene and early fibrosis stage may be predictive of treatment success.
