The Interleukin 28B (IL28B) rs12979860 and rs8099917 genotyping qualitative PCR test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to analyze specific genetic variations in the IL28B gene. These variations, or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), are closely associated with the body’s response to certain viral infections, most notably the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Understanding an individual’s genotype in these regions can help predict the likelihood of response to antiviral therapy, influencing treatment decisions and strategies.

The test employs qualitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques to detect the presence of the rs12979860 and rs8099917 polymorphisms. PCR is a highly sensitive and specific method that amplifies small segments of DNA, making it possible to analyze genetic material with precision.

Performed at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility in genetic testing, this test offers valuable insights for both patients and healthcare providers. The cost of the test is 1220 AED, reflecting the specialized nature of the analysis and the sophisticated technology employed. By identifying the IL28B genotype, healthcare providers can tailor treatment approaches to optimize outcomes for patients with HCV, making this test an important component of personalized medicine strategies.

Test Details: The INTERLEUKIN 28B rs12979860 and rs8099917 genotyping qualitative PCR test is a laboratory test that is used to determine the genotype of an individual for these specific genetic variations.

Interleukin 28B (IL-28B) is a gene that plays a role in the immune response against viral infections, particularly hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Variations in the IL-28B gene, specifically the rs12979860 and rs8099917 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been associated with different treatment outcomes and disease progression in individuals with HCV infection.

The qualitative PCR test detects the presence or absence of specific genetic variations (alleles) at the rs12979860 and rs8099917 loci. This information can help determine the individual’s response to antiviral therapy, as certain genotypes have been associated with better treatment response and higher rates of spontaneous clearance of HCV infection.

The test is performed by extracting DNA from a sample, usually from blood or saliva, and amplifying the specific regions of the IL-28B gene that contain the rs12979860 and rs8099917 SNPs using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The amplified DNA fragments are then analyzed to determine the genotype of the individual at these loci.

The results of the genotyping test can be reported as different genotypes, such as CC, CT, or TT for rs12979860, and TT, TG, or GG for rs8099917, depending on the specific alleles detected. These genotypes can provide valuable information for personalized treatment decisions in individuals with HCV infection.
