MARKER FOR PREDICTING THERAPEUTIC EFFECT ON TYPE C HEPATITIS, METHOD FOR PREDICTING THERAPEUTIC EFFECT ON TYPE C HEPATITIS, AND PROPHYLACTIC OR THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR TYPE C HEPATITIS

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly accurate method for predicting therapeutic effect on type C hepatitis in PEGylated IFN/RBV combination therapy. PSOLUTION: There are disclosed a marker for predicting the therapeutic effect on type C hepatitis wherein the marker is an oligonucleotide or polynucleotide existing on the human genome and includes one or more kinds selected from genetic polymorphisms represented by a specific sequence or linkage disequilibriums (R20.8) therewith, and a method for predicting the therapeutic effect on type C hepatitis using the marker.
