BACKGROUND & AIMS: Variants in STAT4 (rs7574865) have been associated with seroconversion to hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and reduction in levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in patients with chronic infection treated with interferon alpha (IFNA). We evaluated the associations among rs7574865, loss of HB surface antigen (HBsAg, a marker of functional cure of HBV infection), and response to treatment with pegylated IFNA (PegIFN) or nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUCs) in HBeAg-positive patients with chronic HBV infection.METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1823 HBeAg-positive patients with chronic HBV infection (954 patients treated with PegIFN and 869 patients treated with NUCs) included in 4 phase-4 multicenter randomized controlled trials. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to evaluate the association of rs7574865 genotype with combined response (CR, defined as HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA level
