Molecular epidemiology of hepatitis C genotype 6a from patients with chronic hepatitis C from Hong Kong.

Journal of medical virology - 1 Apr 2009

Li Cheryl S Y, Chan Paul K S, Tang Julian W

Abstract excerpt

There have been relatively few studies on HCV genotype 6 compared to hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1. In Hong Kong, a city of about 7 million people, most patients infected with HCV are infected with either genotype 1b or 6a. It is known that HCV 6 is of intermediate responsiveness (i.e., between that of HCV genotype 1 and HCV genotypes 2/3) to standard combination interferon/ribavirin therapy. This study...
