Genotype distribution in relation to viral load in a large cohort of Indian patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection: A retrospective analysis

ConclusionOur study results demonstrate a change in HCV genotypic distribution pattern from genotypes 3 to 1 during the span of 7  years in patients referred to our hospital. In the light of the reported difference in the pathogenic potential of various HCV genotypes, detection of HCV genotype appears to be still essential for better patient management.
