Abstract While direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are available for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients in Nepal, knowledge of the circulating genotypes/subtypes and drug target gene mutations of HCV is currently unavailable. Here, we describe HCV genotypes/subtypes and identify antiviral target gene mutations in patients at a tertiary care hospital using genome data. A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2019 to February 2024, where PCR followed by whole genome sequencing was performed to identify HCV genotypes/subtypes and drug target gene mutations. Among all the patients who tested positive for anti-HCV, 70.6% (149/211) were HCV RNA positive, while 68.2% (30/44) were genotype/subtype 3a, followed by 1a (18.2%, 8/44) and others (13.6%, 6/44), including new subtypes 3g and 3i from Nepal. Subtype 3a was also the dominant subtype (>/=70%) among intravenous drug users and sexual routes of transmission. We found 70.5% of the samples with resistant mutations in the NS3/4A region, 22.7% in NS5A, and 45.5% in NS5B. Resistant mutations against sofosbuvir, pibrentasvir, velpatasvir, daclatasvir, and dasabuvir were found at 25%, 18%, 16%, 16%, and 2%, respectively, mostly on subtype 3a. The predominant HCV genotype/subtype in our patient group was 3a, and resistance mutations against direct-acting antivirals were found in most untreated 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.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
