Identification of drug resistance and immune-driven variations in hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3/4A, NS5A and NS5B regions reveals a new approach toward personalized medicine
Reported drug resistance mutations within NS3/4A, NS5A and NS5B regions is explored. Prevalence of these mutations among all major HCV genotypes is investigated. Potential overlap between drug resistance and immune driven mutations are reported. Knowledge of host HLA type/HCV genotype is important to optimize personalized therapy.
