Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between drug response and the host genetic factors, viral factors and clinical factors in chronic hepatitis C patients (HCV). And thus, the investigators are trying to develop the pharmacogenomic guideline in the Korean patients with HCV.
