A region associated with sensitivity to interferon (IFN) has been identified previously in the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. A study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of mutations in the NS5A 2209-2248 sequence could serve as a predictor of re
Interferon ␣ (IFN ␣) can suppress the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in chronically infected patients. However, HCV persists in a significant number of patients despite the normalization of alanine transaminase (ALT) during IFN ␣ therapy. In this study, HCV variants in patients under IFN ␣ t
