Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to examine gene expression profiles by DNA microarray in
patients who are responders and non-responders to interferon and ribavirin treatment for
hepatitis C virus (HCV). Genes involved in inflammation and fibrosis and mediators of the
Th-1 lymphocyte response will be looked for. It is hoped that genetic targets for future more
effective and less toxic treatments will be identified.
