Abstract
The HCV genome is highly heterogeneous; more and more genotypes, each with several distinct subtypes, are being identified around the world. Knowledge of genotype is important for planning of treatment regimes, whereas subtype identification is useful in epidemiological studies and outbreak investigation. We describe HCV genotyping and subtyping assays, based on real-time PCR, that are sensitive, specific, and reliable. These assays provide fast, accurate, and convenient methods for HCV genotyping/subtyping to support clinical practice.
