Genotype determination of hepatitis C virus from northern India: identification of a new subtype.J Med Virol.
(Department of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1996)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) shows substantial nucleotide sequence diversity distributed throughout the viral genome, with many variants showing only 68-79% overall sequence homology. This has led to problems in diagnosis of ...
