The six major hepatitis C virus genotypes were investigated by using samples from 79 seropositive and PCR-positive blood donors from three different regions of South Africa as well as 9 patients with chronic renal failure, 19 with liver disease, and 23 with hemophilia. PCR products of the genome were typed by restriction fragment length polymorphic analysis by RsaI-HaeIII and MvaI-HinfI double digestion. Type 5 occurred in 40% of this population group; type 1 occurred in 33%; and types 2, 3, and 4 were found in 13.8, 7.7, and 2.3%, respectively.
通过使用来自南非三个不同地区的79名血清学阳性且PCR阳性的献血者的样本,以及9名慢性肾衰竭患者、19名肝病患者和23名血友病患者的样本,对六种主要丙型肝炎病毒基因型进行了研究。通过RsaI-HaeIII和MvaI-HinfI双酶切的限制性片段长度多态性分析对基因组的PCR产物进行分型。该人群组中5型占40%;1型占33%;2型、3型和4型分别占13.8%、7.7%和2.3%。
