Published in Hepatitis Weekly, September 8th, 1997
According to the authors' abstract of an article published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, "Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 5a is the predominant genotype in southern Africa with a high prevalence amongst infected blood donors from areas in South Africa. We have determined the nucleotide sequence corresponding to the complete coding region of an HCV isolate, EUH1480, previously classified as genotype 5a, from an Edinburgh haemophiliac. The sequence contained a single open reading frame (ORF) coding for a polyprotein of 3014 amino acids. Comparison with the polyprotein sequences from other HCB genotypes, where the ORF varies from 3008 to 3037 amino acids, showed...
