Genotype Distribution and 5’ UTR Nucleotide Changes in Hepatitis C Virus
Objective: HCV is a single-stranded RNA virus which has 9500 nucleotide. On the 3’ and 5’ ends of the genome, there are two untranslated regions (UTR) which are highly protected and which have 92% homology among various HCV types. 5’ UTR is used for the genotype detection. In this study, genotype an...
