Abstract
The hepatotropic viruses are a major public health problem representing the most common cause of liver disease worldwide. The distribution of HCV genotypes vary according to the geographical region. Genotypes 1-3 are widely distributed throughout the world. A virus’s genotype usually stays the same. Genetic changes, or mutations, can occur at random or in response to the environment. Current study focuses on the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotyping and its Clinical Utility for Disease Monitoring.
