Abstract excerpt
The therapeutic efficacy of interferon (IFN) for the hepatitis C is closely related with mutations in interferon sensitivity determining region or V3 domain of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A). However, the relationship between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization and the NS5A variability remains unclear. To clarify these features of NS5A, we examined the genetic variability of...
