ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1006/bbrc.1994.1189 | Abstract: | The distribution of hepatitis C viral (HCV) genotypes in Singapore has not been previously determined. We studied the sera of 40 Singapore patients which were PCR-positive for HCV. The HCV genotypes were determined by direct sequencing of amplified sequences of the 5′ non-coding region, after reverse transcription. Of the 40 samples, 35/40 (87.5%) were of HCV type 1, 2/40 (5.0%) were of type 2 and 3/40 (7.5%) were of type 3. The most common HCV genotype in this study was the type 1 genotype. Our results confirm the wide geographical distribution of HCV genotypes. © 1994 Academic Press, Inc. | Source Title: | BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/229662 | ISSN: | 0006291X 10902104 |
