766 a Panel of Gene Expression Biomarkers Predicting Sustained Virologic Response (Svr) in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients (Ch-C) Treated With Pegylated Interferon Alpha and Ribavirin

Gene expression profile associated with superimposed non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C

“…Blood samples for mRNA profiling were collected in three PAXgene ™ RNA blood tubes (PreAnalytiX GmbH, a Qiagen/BD Company, Switzerland). Gene expression profiling followed a previously reported protocol (22). Total RNA from each PAXgene ™ RNA blood tube was extracted, pooled and quantified with the RiboGreen ™ quantitation kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA).…”
