Analysis of genetic variability of Indian isolates of Hepatitis C virus
Abstract
The degree of genetic variability among Hepatitis C virus strains circulating in India is currently unknown. In order to get insight into this matter, sequence data obtained from the 5' non coding region from 8 patients from New Delhi were compared with sequences from 16 HCV isolates from different geographic locations of India. The phylogenetic analysis of most prevalent genotypes revealed the presence of novel HCV variants in type 1 strains.
