Is hepatitis C virus genotype 4 predominant in Saudi Arabia?

The new microbiologica - 1 Jul 1999

Boriskin Y S, Bakir T M, al-Aska A I, Booth J C

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 4 is believed to be predominant in the Middle East including Saudi Arabia (SA). We attempted to genotype 80 HCV isolates from different parts of SA by direct sequencing of a variable 222bp fragment from the NS5B region. The phylogenetic analysis of the NS5B sequen...
