The purpose of this study is to describe the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C and previous treatment failure.
Description: The rs12979860 polymorphism in the gene IL 28B that is located on chromosome 19 showed to be strongly associated with the development of sustained viral response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with PEG-IFN-α/RBV. Patients with this polymorphism clear the virus more easily.
Measure: To determine the presence of the polymorphism rs12979860 in the gene IL 28B located on chromosome 19. Time: 6There is one SNP
