Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 subtype identification in new HCV drug development and future clinical practice.

<h4>Background</h4>With the development of new specific inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) enzymes and functions that may yield different antiviral responses and resistance profiles according to the HCV subtype, correct HCV genotype 1 subtype identification is mandatory in clinical tr...
