      Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are multifactorial diseases with a genetic background. Recent results have shown that a non-synonymous, single nucleotide polymorphism (rs11209026, c.1142G>A, p.Arg381Gln) ...
    • Venegas Santos, Mauricio; Villanueva Arancibia, Rodrigo; González Lagos, Katherine; Brahm Barril, Javier (2011)
      AIM: To analyze the association of three IL28B single nucleotide polymorphisms with response to therapy in Chilean patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). METHODS: We studied two groups of patients with chronic ...
    • Torres B., Claudio; Venegas Santos, Mauricio; Brahm Barril, Javier (2011)
      The current standard therapy for patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the administration of pegylated interferon-α (PEG-IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV), eliminating the virus in only about half of ...
