IFNL3 and Cirrhosis: There is also evidence that contradicts the results of the present study: analyses in G1 patients have reported that a CC genotype is associated with a higher prevalence of cirrhosis/transition to cirrhosis (Abe et al. 2010), and that there is no relationship between IL28B and fibrosis stage (D’Ambrosio et al. 2014; Bochud et al. 2012).
