We report a new hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype identified in patients originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The prototype QC69 virus is shown to be a new lineage distinct from genotypes 1 to 6. Three additional patients were also found to be infected by a virus from this lineage, confirming its circulation in humans. We propose that these viruses be classified into HCV genotype 7.
我们报告了在来自刚果民主共和国的患者中鉴定出的一种新型丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)基因型。原型QC69病毒被证明是一种不同于1至6型基因型的新谱系。另外三名患者也被发现感染了来自该谱系的病毒,证实了其在人类中的传播。我们建议将这些病毒归类为HCV基因型7。
