Abstract excerpt
Reports suggest that response to interferon-alpha therapy is influenced by both hepatitis C viral genotype and titer. Our aim was to determine if direct, automated, cycle sequencing of the PCR product from an HCV RNA detection assay could be used to reliably determine HCV genotype. In addition, the approach was used to determine the HCV genotype distribution in our patient population and to learn if there was a...
