BACKGROUND & AIMS: Single nucleotide polymorphisms within the interferon lambda 4 (IFNL4) locus are strongly associated with spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and early viral response to interferon therapy. Interaction between host genotype and amino acid substitutions might also influence the risk of antiviral resistance in interferon-free direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapies.
METHODS: The relationship between IFNL4 genotype and HCV substitutions was analyzed in 929 patients with chronic HCV genotype 1b infection. Ultra-deep sequencing and quasispecies reconstruction was performed on the N-terminal region of NS5A in 57 patients.
RESULTS: IFNL4 genotype was strongly associated with HCV NS5A Y93 and core protein substitutions, and the number and diversity of predicted quasispecies was marginally greater in IFNL4 TT/TT patients compared to TT/ΔG, ΔG/ΔG patients. RNA secondary structure prediction of the NS5A region suggests that variable sites are more likely to occupy unpaired, high entropy positions.
CONCLUSIONS: HCV infection is proposed to induce a more efficient antiviral response in individuals with the IFNL4 TT/TT genotype that results either in viral clearance or selection for viral adaptations. The association between IFNL4 TT/TT genotype and Y93 substitutions may impact the risk of antiviral resistance in NS5A inhibitors in DAA therapy.
