"[To determine whether pretreatment HCV-RNA level, hepatitis C virus genotypes, alanine aminotransferase and histology correlate with subsequent response to interferon-alpha therapy or not, serum HCV-RNA levels and genotype were determined by branched DNA signal amplification assay and genotype-specific polymerase chain reaction in 43 patients with chronic active hepatitis C. Response to recombinant interferon-alpha 2a (504 million units in total) was defined as complete and sustained CR-->SR, n = 12), complete response followed by relapse (CR-->Rel, n = 17), and no response (NR, n = 10), excluding dropouts (n = 4).].
