The Prognostic Relevance of the Nonstructural 5A Gene Interferon Sensitivity Determining Region Is Different in Infections with Genotype 1b and 3a Isolates of Hepatitis C Virus
1 Apr 1998
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA serum concentration, quasispecies complexity, and sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the nonstructural 5A gene (NS5A) interferon sensitivity determining region (ISDR) were determined in pretreatment serum samples from 47 patients with chronic hepatitis C (36 infected by HCV genotype 1b and 11 by 3a). Among HCV genotype 1b-infected patients, virus load was lower (P = .003) and the...
