According to pivotal clinical trials, cure rates for sofosbuvir‐based antiviral therapy exceed 96%. Treatment failure is usually assumed to be because of virological resistance‐associated substitutions or clinical risk factors, yet the role of patient‐specific genetic factors has not been well explored. We determined if patient‐specific genetic factors help predict patients likely to fail sofosbuvir treatment in real‐world treatment situations.
