Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NS5A Drug Resistance Assay (GT1a/1b)
Also known as: HCV Drug Resistance, NS5A Resistance Analysis
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
Assessment of drug susceptibility by nucleic acid sequencing of a patient's hepatitis C virus (HCV) to the NS5A inhibitors. Assay should be used for patients with documented HCV genotype 1.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This assay requires an HCV genotype of 1a or 1b and is not successful when the viral load is below approximately 500 IU/mL. Detection of resistance variants may be limited under that threshold.
