Background and Aim: It is unclear whether polymorphism in the inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) gene correlates to the reduction in hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations during sofosbuvir (SOF) and ribavirin (RBV) therapy. This study investigated the effects of the ITPA polymorphism on Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 2 infection treated with SOF/RBV therapy.Methods: In 106 patients treated with SOF/RBV therapy, this study assessed the effects of the ITPA polymorphism (rs1127354) on anemia, RBV dose reduction, and sustained virological response.Results: Of the 106 patients, 80 had the CC genotype, whereas 26 had a non-CC genotype in ITPA. Patients with the CC genotype had significantly larger reductions in Hb concentrations than those with a non-CC genotype throughout the treatment course. RBV dose reduction was required in 18/106 (17.0%) patients, with a significantly higher frequency in patients with the CC genotype than in those with a non-CC genotype (P=0.010). In multivariate analysis, age >= 65 years (P=0.011) and the ITPA CC genotype (P= 65 years.
