Abstract

The outcome of antiviral therapy is associated with viral and host factors. In the present study, the association between MHC class I‑related chain B (MICB) genotypes and therapeutic response to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin (PEG‑IFN/RBV) therapy was investigated in hepatitis C virus (HCV)‑infected patients. In total, 107 patients with chronic HCV infection (74 with HCV serotype 1 and 33 with serotype 2) were enrolled. Genotyping of MICB single‑nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3828913 and interleukin‑28B (IL28B) SNP rs8099917 was performed using TaqMan® SNP genotyping assays. The genotype distribution of the MICB alleles was: CC, 79.4%; CA, 17.8%; and AA, 2.8%. Sustained virological response (SVR) was achieved by 55.1% (59/107) of the HCV patients. The SVR rate of patients with MICB major (CC) alleles was 62.3% and this rate was significantly higher than that of the patients with MICB minor (CA and AA) alleles (27.2%) (P=0.0068). A multivariate logistic model showed that the MICB major genotype was an independent factor contributing to SVR (OR, 4.47; 95% CI, 1.46‑13.70; P=0.009). In addition, the MICB genotype was identified as the sole independent factor contributing to SVR and non‑virological response in HCV serotype 1 patients with the IL28B major genotype. In HCV serotype 2 patients, the MICB genotype was the sole significant factor contributing to SVR (OR, 30.68; 95% CI, 2.72‑346.3; P=0.006). In conclusion, the MICB genotype is a strong predictive factor for virological response to PEG‑IFN/RBV therapy in HCV patients.
