The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Functional Pharmacogenetics: Analysis Of The Functional Effect Of The IL28B Genotype On Hepatitis C Virus Infection And Treatment Response.

Summary
An estimated 3% of the world�s population is infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). With low spontaneous clearance rates and often a poor response to treatment many infected individuals will develop long term complications from HCV. Recent studies have identified a genetic variant that is significantly associated with spontaneous viral clearance of HCV and response to treatment for HCV. We propose to further investigate the functional basis for the effect of this human genotype on drug response.
Clinical And Genetic Modifiers In The Progression To Cirrhosis In Hemochromatosis

Funding Amount

Summary
Haemochromatosis is a disease related to a common genetic abnormality leading to progressive iron accumulation in tissues with the potential for liver fibrosis and eventually scarring of the liver. It has been noted that not all patients with haemochromatosis develop scarring of the liver and it is possible that this variation could be due to differences in lifestyle or health factors or alternatively due to genetic variability between patients. The study aims to investigate this further.
