Abstract excerpt
An association between a specific mutational pattern within the nonstructural (NS)3 region of GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) genome and fulminant hepatic failure has been suggested recently. The mutational pattern consists of 3-6 nucleotide mutations of which one is leading to an amino acid exchange. In the present study, patients with GBV-C/HGV mono-infection (n = 24) or GBV-C/HGV and HCV co-infection...
