Genotype Distribution and Molecular Epidemiology of Hepatitis C Virus in Guangzhou, China: Predominance of Genotype 1b and Increasing Incidence of Genotype 6a [PDF]
Background/Aims: Distribution of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes vary geographically and may associate with the mode of transmission. Little is known about the molecular epidemiology of HCV infection in Guangzhou, China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey included 561 subjects with chronic HCV infection registered at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical

Genotype-specific versus pangenotypic regimens in patients infected with HCV genotype 1b in real-world settings [PDF]
Introduction The introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) has provided us with hope to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection as a significant public health problem in the coming years. Objective Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety between genotype-specific and pangenotypic regimens in GT1b infected patients treated in

Hepatitis C virus genotype 1b chimeric replicon containing genotype 3 NS5A domain
Infections with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3 exhibit differences in clinical phenotype including an increase in response to interferon therapy and development of steatosis. To initiate studies on genotype 3, we created a chimeric genotype 1b replicon containing a genotype 3a NS5A domain. The chimera was capable of efficient colony formation after

Hepatitis C viral evolution in genotype 1 treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced patients receiving telaprevir-based therapy in clinical trials [PDF]
Background: In patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C infection, telaprevir (TVR) in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin (PR) significantly increased sustained virologic response (SVR) rates compared with PR alone.
