Abstract excerpt
We focused on the relationship between variation in the IRES of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b and clinical outcome, since the internal ribosome entry site (IRES) has a comparatively low heterogeneity and it might be easy to find unique substitutions. Patients infected with HCV were selected using strict criteria, and unique mutations in the IRES were extracted by the subtraction of common mutations. We...
