Abstract excerpt
The identification of mutations in the HVR1 region of hepatitis type C virus (HCV) is time-consuming and expensive, and there is a need for a rapid, inexpensive method of screening for these mutations to predict the ineffectiveness of pegylated interferon alpha combined with ribavirin (PEG-IFNα/RBV) therapy. The project was designed to evaluate the usefulness of the high resolution melting (HRM) technique to...
