In-depth phylogenetic analysis of hepatitis C virus subtype 1a and occurrence of 80K and associated polymorphisms in the NS3 protease

HCV genetic diversity is high and impacts disease progression, treatment and drug resistance. HCV subtype 1a is divided in two clades (I and II), and the 80 K natural polymorphism in the viral NS3 protease is prevalent in clade I. Paradoxically, countries dominated by this clade have contrasting fre...
