Abstract excerpt
The Y448H mutation in NS5B has been selected by GS-9190 as well as several benzothiadiazine hepatitis C virus (HCV) polymerase inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. However, the level and the evolution kinetics of this resistance mutation prior to and during treatment are poorly understood. In this study, we developed an allele-specific real-time PCR (AS-PCR) assay capable of detecting Y448H when it was present at a...
