Abstract

The TRUGENE HCV 5'NC genotyping kit (GeneLibrarian modules 3.1.1 and 3.1.2) and VERSANT HCV genotyping assay were compared by using 96 hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-positive patient specimens, including HCV genotypes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10. The TRUGENE HCV 5'NC genotyping kit (GeneLibrarian module 3.1.2) yielded the most accurate genotyping results.
