INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Pangenotypic direct-acting antivirals (DAA) are effective against highly prevalent Hepatitis C virus (HCV) subtypes, but have been clinically validated almost exclusively in high-income countries. Unusual HCV subtypes may carry natural polymorphisms, potentially impacting DAA susceptibility. We conducted full-genome characterization and resistance analysis of unusual HCV subtypes in...
