Greater diversity of hepatitis C virus genotypes found in Hong Kong than in mainland China.

Journal of clinical microbiology - 1 Nov 1995

Zhang Y Y, Lok A S, Chan D T, Widell A

Abstract excerpt

A hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping PCR assay based on type-specific primers was expanded to include genotype 6a as well as genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, and 3a. The nucleotide sequences of a 194-bp fragment in the center of the HCV core gene showed that the homologies between genotype 6a and genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 5 were 81.2, 82.1, 73.8, 77.3, 81.4, and 78.9%, respectively. A high degree of homology (99.6%)...
