Popis: AIM To evaluate the predictive value of vitamin D and its metabolic pathway gene polymorphisms in response to pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) in hepatitis B early antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. METHODS One hundred and nineteen HBeAg-positive CHB patients who received Peg-IFN monotherapy for 48 weeks and then were followed-up for another 48 weeks were prospectively enrolled; baseline 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH)D) and hepatitis B virus serologic marker levels were detected, nine critical single nucleotide polymorphisms within vitamin D metabolism were genotyped. RESULTS Forty-five (37.8%), 44 (37.0%), 35 (29.4%), and 11 (9.2%) of the patients achieved virological response (VR), HBeAg loss, combined response (CR), and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level
