Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Subtype-specific response to ketoamide NS3 protease inhibitors is observed in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. Whether the genetic diversity in the molecular target site of ketoamide compounds prior to treatment plays a role for resistance development and lower treatment response in subtype 1a is poorly understood. METHODS: Using a public database, we retrieved worldwide NS3-sequence...
