PGx of HCV
This test utilizes a platform for Pharmacogenetics of Hepatitis C virus NS5A developed by collaboration between GGA Corp. and TCM BioTech International Corp.
Hepatitis C is a potentially fatal liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The disease affects more than 130 million people worldwide. It’s typically spread through the shared use of medical needles by intravenous drug users.
Genotype 1 is the most common HCV genotype. The FDA has approved some New Oral Hepatitis C Drugs, which according to clinical trials, has cured hepatitis C for over 90 percent of patients undergoing treatment. Although such treatment is promising, it is also costly. Genetic testing for HCV NS5A polymorphism is recommended prior to initiation of treatment.
