Symptomatic acute HCV infection and interferon lambda 4 (IFNL4) genotypes are important predictors of spontaneous viral clearance. Using data from a multicohort database (Injecting Cohorts [InC3] Collaborative), we establish an independent association between host IFNL4 genotype and symptoms of acute hepatitis C virus infection. This association potentially explains the higher spontaneous clearance observed in some patients with symptomatic disease.
症状性急性 HCV 感染和干扰素 lambda 4(IFNL4)基因型是自发病毒清除的重要预测因子。利用来自多队列数据库(注射队列[InC3]协作)的数据,我们确定了宿主 IFNL4 基因型与急性丙型肝炎病毒感染症状之间的独立关联。这种关联可能解释了一些有症状患者中观察到的更高自发清除率。
