A Boceprevir Failure in a Patient Infected with HCV Genotype 1G: Importance and Limitations of Virus Genotyping Prior to HCV Protease-Inhibitor-Based Therapy
15 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
A patient classified as HCV-1a-positive by both LiPA Siemens 2.0 and Abbott RealTime HCV Genotype II was instead found to be infected with HCV-1g, as determined by phylogenetic analysis of NS3 sequences. HCV-1g NS3 sequences available to date naturally harbour the resistance substitution T54S, plus P131S and L135F changes, located in the highly conserved NS3 positions within the boceprevir-binding site, as...
