  1. NOTE. This table showed the associations of virological response and SCARB1 genotypes. Use virological response (such as SVR, RVR) as the dependent variable, SCARB1 genotypes as independent variables.
  2. Because rs10846744 CC/CG genotype is significantly associated with a higher SVR rate than GG genotype, the rs10846744 genotype may help in the prediction of SVR among chronic hepatitis C patients with unfavorable IL28B genotype (rs8099917 GG/GT genotype) following pegylated interferon plus ribavirin therapy.
  3. Abbreviations: SVR, Sustained virologic response; VR, Virologic response; RVR, rapid virologic response; EVR, early virologic response; cEVR, complete early virologic response; pEVR, partial early virologic response; EOTR, end-of-treatment response.
