Quick and accurate genotyping of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is becoming increasingly important for clinical management of chronic infection and as an epidemiological marker. Furthermore, the incidence of HCV infection with mixed genotypes has clinical significance that is not addressed by most genotyping methods. We have developed a fluorescence-based genotyping assay called primer-specific extension analysis (PSEA)...
