Viral hepatitis is a highly prevalent cause of human morbidity and mortality. Consequences of chronic infection include liver failure and liver cancer. Genomic medicine has seen significant advances in the management and prognosis of viral hepatitis infection. Polymorphisms in interferon response genes predict treatment responses and disease outcome in hepatitis C. Further, a range of genetic markers predict the likelihood of cirrhosis and liver cancer as well as the determining the prognosis of established disease in individuals with hepatitis-B and/or hepatitis-C virus infection. The future will see highly personalized risk assessment and individualized treatment based on genomic medicine approaches in patients with viral hepatitis.
