Abstract Background: The hepatitis C virus has a high mutation rate, which results in the emergence of resistance-associated substitutions (RASs). Despite direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) efforts to treat chronically infected HCV genotype 3 (GT3) patients, there are concerns about the emergence and persistence of RASs in DAA failures. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of clinically relevant RASs in HCV NS5A and NS5B regions before and after treatment to better understand the role of RASs in treatment failures. Methods: Viral RNA was extracted before and after treatment from serum samples. NS5A and NS5B regions of HCV were amplified by nested PCR, followed by Sanger sequencing. The nucleotide sequences were aligned against HCV GT3 reference sequences, and amino acid substitutions were analyzed using the geno2pheno [hcv] webserver. Results: A total of 76 patients failing DAA therapy were stratified from the cohort of 1388. RASs were detected at the baseline in 15/76 patients and at relapse in 20/76 patients with cirrhosis and previously treated with interferons. The most prevalent NS5A RAS was Y93H found in all treatment-failing patients (14/54 in DCV vs. 6/22 in VEL), followed by A62S/T and A30K. No RASs were identified in NS5B. RASs that were present at the baseline persisted through the 24-week follow-up period and were enriched with emerging RASs during the treatment. The presence of RASs may be one of the causes of treatment failures in 26.3% of patients. Amino acid substitutions were present at the baseline in most of the patients with RASs against NS5A inhibitors. Patients with the baseline Y93H and/or A30K relapse more frequently than patients harboring A62S/T. Conclusion: Treatment-failing patients harbored NS5A RASs, and the most frequent were A30K (5/20), A62S/T (20/20), and Y93H (20/20). Direct resistance testing is recommended for optimizing re-treatment strategies in treatment-failing patients.

Mutation Information
Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
