Not associated with any relevant disease phenotype in OMIM. SCARB1 is also known as SRB1
PMID: 12356718 - Scarselli et al 2002 - Characterization of hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope glycoprotein E2 binding after chemical or enzymic modification of the cell surface led to the identification of the scavenger receptor type B class I (SR-BI) as the E2 receptor on HepG2 cells.
PMID: 28827115 - Sadeghi et al 2017 - SCARB1 rs10846744 (CC) genotype (P=0.001) was strongly associated with sustained virological response
PMID: 28363797 - Westhaus et al 2018 - Non-synonymous variants: S112F and T175A have greatly reduced Hepatitus C virus (HCV) receptor function. When present on the cell surface, these variants are impaired in their ability to interact with HCV E2. Non-coding variants: The G allele in rs3782287 is associated with decreased viral load.
PMID: 29715527 - Naffari et al 2018 -looked at treatment responses in 395 treatment-naïve patients with chronic Hepatitus C Virus (CHC) genotype 1 treated with pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin. Rapid virologic response (RVR), complete early virologic response (cEVR) , and sustained virologic responseSVR were significantly associated with SCARB1 rs10846744 (CC).
