The present study evaluated the impact of aa substitutions of HCV\u20101b core region on AFP, as a surrogate marker of hepatocarcinogenesis, on AFP levels in 569 Japanese patients with HCV\u20101b but without HCC, and investigated the predictive factors of elevated AFP (\u226511 \u00b5g\/L). High AFP levels were detected in 27.4% of the patients. The rate of hepatocarcinogenesis in a group of 109 patients who received IFN monotherapy and followed\u2010up for 15 years, was significantly higher in patients with abnormal than normal AFP. Multivariate analysis of 569 patients identified fibrosis stage (<jats:italic>F<\/jats:italic>3,4), aspartate aminotransferase (\u226576 IU\/L), substitution of aa 70 (glutamine or histidine), and platelet count (&lt;15.0\u2009\u00d7\u200910<jats:sup>4<\/jats:sup>\/\u00b5l) as significant determinants of elevated AFP. In 49 patients with abnormal AFP levels and substitutions at aa 70 who were treated with PEG\u2010IFN\u2009+\u2009RBV, the rate of normalization of AFP was significantly lower in non\u2010virological responders (28.6%) than in transient (71.4%) and sustained (100%) virological responders. The results indicated that substitution of aa 70 of HCV\u20101b core region is an important predictor of elevated AFP in non\u2010HCC patients, and that eradication of the mutant virus normalizes AFP. The results highlight the importance of eradication of mutant type virus of aa 70 for reducing the risk of hepatocarcinogenesis. J. Med.
