Abstract BACKGROUND Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection showed the presence of resistant-associated substitutions (RASs). The aim of the present study was to carry out a follow-up of patients with baseline RASs to report the impact of RASs on DAA therapy outcome. METHODS In a cohort study, we analyzed NS5A and NS5B RASs among nine thalassemia cases by baseline RASs. In a 2-year follow-up, we analyzed viral markers and biochemical and hematological parameters of the participants and their sustained virologic response (SVR). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software version 22. RESULTS RASs for HCV subtype 1a included M28V, L31M, and H58P. For subtype 1b: L28M, R30Q, S24F, and C316N. And for subtype 3a: C316S, and S24F. In patients with cirrhosis (n = 5), ALT (p = 0.001) and AST (p = 0.007) levels were significantly reduced after treatment, and creatinine level slightly increased (p = 0.025). However, no significant data was observed in non-cirrhotic patients following the treatment. CONCLUSION The present study did not show any adverse effects of DAA therapy among patients with thalassemia suffering from chronic HCV infection with baseline RASs. Furthermore, reduction in ferritin and liver stiffness levels after DAA therapy could show the efficacy of DAA in such 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.
  • Location: The source of the research data.
