Abstract excerpt
To develop hepatitis C virus (HCV) direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs that can treat most HCV genotypes and offer higher barriers for treatment-resistant mutations, it is important to study resistance-associated variants (RAVs). Current commercially available RAV detection assays rely on genotype- or subtype-specific template-dependent PCR amplification. These assays are limited to genotypes and subtypes that...
