Exploring the Genome-wide Association Study of the Advantageous Population for Clinical Cure of Chronic Hepatitis B With Long-acting Interferon Therapy
This study is a real-world case-control study conducted, with 120 CHB patients who received continuous treatment with PEG-IFN-α for more than 24 weeks as study subjects. Among them, the clinical cure group obtained through PEG-IFN-α treatment is the case group; The group that did not achieve clinical cure after PEG-IFN-α treatment was used as the control group, and the case group and control group were allocated cases in a 2:1 ratio. Collect blood samples from subjects as sequencing samples for candidate genes, use high-throughput sequencing technology to detect the whole genome of subjects, identify relevant genetic polymorphism that have predictive value for clinical cure of chronic hepatitis B treated with PEG-IFN-α, and establish a predictive model and calculation formula between gene polymorphism and the efficacy of PEG-IFN-α antiviral therapy.

• According to the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B (2022), patients with HBsAg and/or HBV DNA positivity for more than 6 months and chronic inflammatory liver disease caused by persistent HBV infection are diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB);
• The patient receives subcutaneous injections of PEG-IFN-α for at least 24 consecutive weeks;
• Patients voluntarily sign an informed consent form before the start of the study.
