The scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) is a receptor for high-density lipoproteins
(HDL) and one of entry factors for hepatitis C virus (HCV). The investigators aimed to
examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the SCARB1 gene, which
encodes SR-BI, with virologic responses to pegylated interferon-based treatment in Asian
chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients.
