Abstract BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural protein 5A (NS5A) inhibitors have been recently developed to inhibit NS5A activities and have been approved for the treatment of HCV infection. However the drawback of these direct acting antivirals (DAAs) is the emergence of resistance mutations. The prevalence of such mutations conferring resistance to HCV-NS5A inhibitors before treatment has not been investigated so far in the Tunisian population. The aim of this study was to detect HCV variants resistant to HCV-NS5A inhibitors in hepatitis C patients infected with HCV genotype 1 before any treatment with NS5A inhibitors. METHODS: Amplification and direct sequencing of the HCV NS5A region was carried out on 112 samples from 149 untreated patients. RESULTS: In genotype 1a strains, amino acid substitutions conferring resistance to NS5A inhibitors (M28V) were detected in 1/7 (14.2 %) HCV NS5A sequences analyzed. In genotype 1b, resistance mutations in the NS5A region (R30Q; L31M; P58S and Y93H) were observed in 17/105 (16.2 %) HCV NS5A sequences analyzed. R30Q and Y93H (n = 6; 5.7 %) predominated over P58S (n = 4; 3.8 %) and L31M (n = 3; 2.8 %). CONCLUSIONS: Mutations conferring resistance to HCV NS5A inhibitors are frequent in treatment-naive Tunisian patients infected with HCV genotype 1b. Their influence in the context of DAA therapies has not been fully investigated and should be taken into consideration.

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
