sequence analysis of hepatitis c virus genotypes 1 to 5 reveals multiple novel subtypes in the benelux countries. | hepatitis c virus (hcv) isolates from a cohort of 315 patients from the benelux countries (belgium, the netherlands, luxembourg) were genotyped by means of reverse hybridization inno-lipa (line probe assay). genotypes 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, 4a and 5a were detected. from the cohort, isolates representing all types and those showing an aberrant lipa pattern were further analysed by sequencing parts of the 5' utr, core (nt 1 to 326; aa residues 1 to 108) and core/e1 (nt 477 to 924; aa residues 159 to ... | 1995 | 9049395 |
