N2  - Introduction:  Immune  effects  of  vitamin  D  including  its  cytokine regulating actions are  mediated through the nuclear vitamin D receptor. Genetic polymorphisms affecting the vitamin D receptor FokI gene have been implicated in several immune disorders Aim  of  the  study:  In  this  study  we  assess  the  effect  of  FokI  gene polymorphism and vitamin D levels on response to treatment in chronic hepatitis C genotype 4. Patients and methods: Blood samples of 50 responders and 50 non- responders to pegylated interferon and ribavirin were tested for the FokI gene polymorphism and serum vitamin D levels. 20 healthy controls were also tested for serum vitamin D levels
