What is it about?

Naturally-occuring Hepatitis C Virus Resistance profiles to Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAA) is here described for all HCV genotypes in the largest dataset available to date.

Why is it important?

Because DAA treatment is extending to all HCV genotypes, it is important to know the natural resistance profile of non-1 genotype viruses to optimize treatment options.

Perspectives

These data can help to further personalize DAA treatment regimes, and to characterize clinically-relevant resistance variants in non-1 HCV genotypes.
