Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C virus (HCV), infecting 170 million people worldwide, is a major public health problem. In developing countries, unsafe injections and blood transfusions are thought to be the major routes of transmission. However, our previous work in a population from Egypt, endemic for HCV, revealed highly significant familial correlations, strongly suggesting the existence of both familial transmission of the virus...
