Development of a Method for Screening and Genotyping of HCV 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, and 6 Genotypes.


ABSTRACT: The World Health Organization and the World Health Assembly recommended eradicating hepatitis as a public threat by 2030. The accurate genotyping of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is crucial to achieving this goal because it is vital for the selection of anti-HCV therapy required for complete cure of HCV infection. We report the development of a method for accurate genotyping of HCV 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, and 6 genotypes. The merits of the developed method for HCV genotyping include (i) requirement of a single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer set, (ii) room-temperature detection in 30 min after the PCR, (iii) no need of highly trained professionals, (iv) highly accurate HCV genotyping results afforded by highly specific DNA-DNA hybridization, and (v) probe sequences that can be used on other platforms.
