Abstract: Objectives To investigate the genotypes of hepatitis C virus in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Method The genotypes of hepatitis C virus was detected by gene chips and serum hepatitis C viral RNA was assayed by RT-PCR. Results Out of 570 sera,552(95%) were positive for HCV RNA,and 1b were positive in 400 (72.4%),2a in 63(11.4%),3a in 20(3.6%),3b in 20 (3.6%),1b+2a in 12 (2.1%),1a in 2 (0.4%),6 in 7(1.26%),1b+3a in one(0.18%),2a+1b in 3(0.5%),and unknown in 24(4.3%);Serum HCV RNA levels in patients with different hepatitis C viral genotype infection were not significantly different(P>0.05). Conclusion The hepatitis C virus of genotype 1b dominated,and 2a in the second place in our series; Some mix infection with multiple genotypes needs further investigation.
