The 5'untranslated region (5'UTR) is often targeted to detect major genotypes in hepatitis C virus (HCV) but its insufficient sequence variation limits its usefulness for differentiating HCV subtypes. Subtyping has important implications to epidemiologic studies, clinical management, and vaccine development. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence of variable regions such as the non-structural 5B (NS5B) is considered the reference method for identifying HCV subtypes. We evaluated the accuracy of sub ...[more]
