Abstract excerpt
The current study was designed to determine the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) genotypes in a representative sample of HCV chronically infected patients in Saudi Arabia. All HCV isolates were genotyped by sequencing of the 5'UTR region and newly identified HCV isolates were identified. Specific universal primers targeting 5'UTR region were used for both amplification and sequencing of all isolates that resulted in 244...
