Correlation between Genetic Variations and Serum Level of Interleukin 28B with Virus Genotypes and Disease Progression in Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection

Table 6

Correlation of average IL28B serum levels with different outcomes of HCV infection.

	Value	Std. error	-value	value
(Intercept)	1.461	0.027	54.77	0
Group 2	0.161	0.057	2.82	0.005
Group 3	0.126	0.161	0.79	0.43
Groups 2 + 3	0.156	0.053	2.95	0.003

Note: results for “intercept” correspond to group = 1; that is, (conc.) = 1.46 for group 1 samples, with ~0.16 increase in (conc.) for group 2 samples, and no additional sig. affect in (conc.) for group 3 samples.
