Hepatitis C Virus Variants with Decreased Sensitivity to Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) Were Rarely Observed in DAA-Naive Patients prior to Treatment
15 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of naturally occurring hepatitis C virus (HCV) variants that are less sensitive to direct-acting antiviral (DAA) inhibitors has not been fully characterized. We used population sequence analysis to assess the frequency of such variants in plasma samples from 3,447 DAA-naive patients with genotype 1 HCV. In general, HCV variants with lower-level resistance (3- to 25-fold increased 50% inhibitor...
