Clinical Use
Order TestUse
AccuType® IL28B identifies polymorphisms in the IL28B gene (now IFNL3) that have been associated with patient response to pegylated interferon‐plus‐ribavirin therapy for hepatitis C virus genotype 1 infection. These genetic markers help clinicians gauge the likelihood of achieving a sustained virologic response and may inform consideration of alternative antiviral regimens in clinical decision‐making.
