Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Background & aims: Interferon-alfa (IFN)-related cytopenias are common and may be dose-limiting. We performed a genome wide association study on a well-characterized genotype 1 HCV cohort to identify genetic determinants of peginterferon-α (pegIFN)-related thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and leukopenia.

984 European ancestry with genotype 1 HCV cases, 201 African American genotype 1 HCV cases, 99 Hispanic genotype 1 HCV cases
