Interferon-alpha is one of three species of interferon that
possesses various biological properties including
immunomodulating activity, anti-tumor activity and
anti-viral activity. Elevated interferon-alpha levels are
reportedly seen in viral disease, chronic fatigue-immune
dysfunction syndrome, and some inflammatory diseases.

Interleukin 28B (IL28B) Polymorphism (rs12979860), Blood
Clinical Information: Individuals with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infections have variable
responses to treatment with pegylated-interferon and ribavirin combination therapy. Some individuals will
respond to treatment with sustained viral response, while other patients have poor response and fail to
achieve sustained viral clearance. Response to pegylated-interferon and ribavirin combination therapy in
HCV genotype 1-infected individuals has been found to be closely associated with a single-nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP), designated rs12979860, located 3 kilobases upstream from the interleukin 28B
gene locus (IL28B) present on human chromosome 19. HCV genotype 1-infected individuals with the CC
genotype, as compared to either the CT or TT genotypes, of this SNP in IL28B have approximately 2- to
