Inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) genetic variants are strongly associated with ribavirin (RBV)‐induced anaemia during pegylated interferon (PEG‐IFN) plus RBV therapy. However, the treatment efficacy ofITPAgenetic variants has not been fully explored. We enrolled 309 individuals infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 1, who were treated with PEG‐IFN plus RBV for 48 weeks. TheITPASNP: rs1127354 andIL28BSNP: rs8099917 were genotyped. We examined the risk factors for severe anaemia up to week 12 after the start of treatment and treatment efficacy. The incidence of severe anaemia, ≥3 g/dL reduction or <10 g/dL of haemoglobin (Hb) up to week 12, was more frequent in patients with CC at rs1127354 [65% (145/224), 33% (73/224)] than in those with CA/AA [25% (21/85), 6% (8/85)] (P<0.0001).ITPAgenotype, pretreatment Hb level and age were independent predictive factors for severe anaemia: Hb < 10 g/dL. InIL28Bfavourable type, the sustained virologic response rate was higher in ≥60‐year‐old patients with CA/AA than in those with CC [71% (22/31)vs40% (26/65),P=0.005], although there was no significant difference in treatment efficacy according toITPAgenetic variants in the <60‐year‐old patients. The proportion of patients administered ≥80% of the dosage of RBV was significantly higher in the patients with CA/AA than in those with CC (P=0.025), resulting in a lower relapse rate. In conclusion,ITPAgenetic variants were associated with severe RBV‐induced anaemia and could influence the efficacy of PEG‐IFN plus RBV treatment among elderly patients withIL28Bfavourable type.
