ESTABLISHED INNOVATIONS IN DIAGNOSTICS IL28B RealFast™ Assay The accurate way to test the therapeutic response therapy in Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infected patients Key to a successful antiviral therapy The IL28B RealFast™ Assay helps to predict the success of antiviral therapy and sustained virologic response (SVR) in HCV infected patients. Chronic HCV infection affects around 1% of the world population and is the leading cause of cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver transplantation. Pegylated interferon/ribavirin (pegIFN/RBV) therapy is the treatment of choice for HCV infection. SRV is dependent on virus genotype as well as on patients' factors including genetic polymorphisms. The TT>AG variant in the IFNL4 gene is the strongest known host factor for predicting HCV clearance. Genotyping of TT>AG helps to predict the outcome of pegIFN/RBV therapy independent of a patient's ethnicity. The TT>AG dinucleotide frame-shift variant appears, if present, in the human interferon lambda 4 (IFNL4) gene/ pseudogene, which is located upstream of the gene encoding interleukin 28B (IL28B). Homozygous carriers of the favorable TT allele are predisposed to an up to 3-fold higher sustained virological response (SVR) than carriers of the AG allele.
