High prevalence of hepatitis C virus genotype 6 among certain risk groups in Hong Kong.

European journal of epidemiology - 1 Jul 1998

Wong D A, Tong L K, Lim W

Abstract excerpt

The genotype of hepatitis C virus (HCV) of 172 HCV-RNA positive serum specimens taken from patients with chronic liver diseases, thalassaemia major, chronic renal failure (CRF), haemophilia and intravenous drug abusers (IVDA) was determined by analysis of the amplified 5'UTR region by genotype-specific oligonucleotide probes and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Six different genotypes and subtypes...
