Fig. 1 — A suggested algorithm for the expected probability of sustained virologic response (SVR) according to the presence of the interleukin-28B (IL28B) polymorphism (rs12979860), platelet count, and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels in Korean patients infected with HCV genotype 1. Among the 70 total patients included in this algorithm, all five patients exhibiting the IL28B non-CC type and a low platelet count (7%) did not achieve SVR. However, all 14 patients exhibiting the IL28B CC type, a normal platelet count, and low HCV RNA levels (20%) achieved SVR. Between these extremes, SVR rates ranged from 17% to 68%.
