Abstract excerpt

There is an increasing demand for genotyping hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates due to the rapidly expanding list of distinct HCV genotypes and the mounting evidence of genotype-specific clinical consequences. We describe an SSCP-based assay for determining genotypes in HCV infections. HCV RNA extr...
