IFN-free therapy?
Combination DAA high cure rates
Failure more likely if baseline RAVs,
particularly multiple NS5A RAVs
Patients failing DAA therapy have
high levels of RAVs
Methods of detecting resistance
Population (Sanger) sequencing
High throughput (Next generation)
sequencing
– Better sensitivity with NGS - down to
<1% (Sanger ~20%)
» clinical relevance not yet determined
– Bioinformatics (big data) with NGS
Raw data - self processedThe more complicated stucture for variation detection
