Abstract A 40-year-old male patient with virologic relapse after daclatasvir plus asunaprevir therapy for a serogroup 1 hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection visited our hospital for retreatment. Virologic examinations revealed that a genotype 2b HCV strain carrying both NS3-S122N / D168A and NA5A-R30Q / L31M / Q54H / Y93H mutations had relapsed. The patient received sofosbuvir plus ribavirin therapy, but virologic relapse occurred once again. Sequencing of the HCV genome clarified an intergenotypic recombination of 2b and 1b with an estimated crossover point between nucleotides 3114 and 3115, corresponding to the N-terminal end of the NS3 region (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases accession no. LC273304). The NS5B-S282T mutation was not detected in the HCV strain, and resistance-association substitutions in the NS3 and NS5A regions were similar to those at baseline. Direct sequencing of the core and NS4A regions corresponding to the targeting sites of genotyping and serogrouping, respectively, is useful to determine the combination of direct-acting antivirals when a discrepancy is observed between the serogroup and genotype of HCV strains.

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.
