In order to type 45 recent isolates of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) originating from four different geographic regions of the world, we performed phylogenetic analysis of a 192 nucleotides (nts) long sequence from the 5'non-coding region (5'-NCR) of the virus genome and compared them with 55 HCV isolates/strains of known type. The results of this study showed that phylogenetic studies can assign an HCV isolate to the correct type in 100% and to the correct subtype in 98%. A comparison ofthis method with other methods using commercial kits revealed that it is appropriate for clinical use and is cost effective.
