Identification of IL28B genotypes associated with the response to antiviral therapy of chronicle hepatitis C

Project 416

Problem to be solved
Unavailability in the national market for genotyping test of IL28B SNPS.

Proposed innovation
PCR test applied in the identification of genotype RS12979860 associated to the treatment result.

Differential
Lower cost in determining the allelic profile of the human IL28B gene in samples of patients with hepatitis C.

Stage of development
Standardized protocol.

What we want
Partnership
