Abstract excerpt
Viral quasispecies (QS) have long been considered to affect the efficiency of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antiviral therapy, but a correlation between QS diversity and treatment outcomes has not been established conclusively. We previously measured HCV QS diversity by genome-wide quantification of high-resolution mutation load in HCV genotype 1a patients achieving a sustained virological response (1a/SVR) or a null...
