Diagnosis of hepatitis C virus genotype 2k/1b needs NS5B sequencing [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is probably the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. The correct identification of HCV genotype has important clinical implications as a marker of responsiveness to antiviral therapy and ...

NS4A protein as a marker of HCV history suggests that different HCV genotypes originally evolved from genotype 1b [PDF]
Background The 9.6 kb long RNA genome of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is under the control of RNA dependent RNA polymerase, an error-prone enzyme, for its transcription and replication.

Daclatasvir plus asunaprevir for chronic HCV genotype 1b infection. [PDF]
All-oral combinations of direct-acting antivirals may improve efficacy and safety outcomes for patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, particularly those who are poor candidates for current interferon/ribavirin-based regimens.

HCV genotype 1a shows a better virological response to antiviral therapy than HCV genotype 1b [PDF]
The impact of viral subtype on the rate of sustained virological response (SVR) to antiviral therapy in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C genotype 1 subtype 1a and 1b has not been extensively investigated. The aim of this study is to determine whether the HCV genotype 1 subtypes 1a and 1b respond differently to treatment with PEGylated ...

A Unique Genotype of Pseudohypoaldosteronism Type 1b in a Highly Consanguineous Population [PDF]
Abstract Context Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) is a condition in which serum aldosterone level is normal or elevated but its action is deficient. Objective This study describes the molecular genetics of PHA 1b in the highly ...

Genomic characterization of Brazilian hepatitis C virus genotypes 1a and 1b [PDF]
Parts of 5' non-coding (5' NC) and of E1 envelope regions of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome were amplified from sera of 26 Brazilian anti-HCV antibody-positive patients using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Fourteen samples were PCR positive with primers from the 5' NC region and 8 of them were also positive with ...

Next-generation sequencing analysis of hepatitis C virus resistanceāassociated substitutions in direct-acting antiviral failure in South Korea [PDF]
Background/Aims We used next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analyze resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) and retreatment outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who failed direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) treatment in

Hepatitis C virus genotypes in liver transplant recipients: Impact on posttransplant recurrence, infections, response to interferon-α therapy and outcome [PDF]
Background. End-stage liver disease due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common indication for liver transplantation in U.S. veterans. We investigated the influence of HCV genotypes on the incidence and timing of recurrent HCV hepatitis, survival ...

Discovery of Thienoimidazole-Based HCV NS5A Genotype 1a and 1b Inhibitors [PDF]
The discovery of potent thienoimidazole-based HCV NS5A inhibitors is herein reported. A novel method to access the thienoimidazole [5,5]-bicyclic system is disclosed. This method gave access to a common key intermediate (6) that was engaged in Suzuki or Sonogashira reactions with coupling partners bearing different linkers.
