Abstract excerpt
AIM: The presence of resistance-associated variants (RAV) may attenuate the efficacy of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) in combination therapy for hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to characterize the NS3 and NS5A regions of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in naturally occurring RAV. METHODS: The NS3 and NS5A regions of HCV were amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction and their nucleotide sequences were...
