Core Tip	The exact mechanisms of the effects of interleukin-28B (IL28B) genotype on the treatment response in chronic hepatitis C patients are unclear. However, IL28B genotype is useful for the continued successful treatment of older patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and avoiding adverse events. Until the eventual availability of interferon-free regimens, it is important to determine IL28B genotype before treating HCV-infected individuals, especially in the screening of older patients.
