Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene polymorphism of HCV is an important cause of drug resistance to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). METHODS: Nested PCR assays were performed to amplify the HCV viral regions of NS3, NS5A and NS5B. RESULTS: Major resistant mutation A156S was found in 18.33% of patients with HCV-1b and 64.28% of patients with HCV-2a. HCV-6a patients had a Q80K mutation rate of 95.45%, while the mutation rate of V170I...
