Fig. 1 ITPA deficiency protects against clinically significant RBV-induced decline in Hb concentration. Adapted from Felay et al. [10]. Percentages of clinically significant anaemia at week 4 (defined as either a decline in Hb of >3g/dl and/or Hb levels <10g/dl) are shown according to rs1127354 and rs7270101 combined genotypes. Rs1127354 and rs7270101 minor variants confer reduced ITPA and induce protection against clinically significant haemolytic anaemia in hepatitis C-infected patients receiving RBV.
