Background And Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (G) knowledge is essential for determining type, duration and rate of response to antiviral therapy, possible route of HCV transmission, and future vaccine development. Our aim was to study HCV genotypes and to provide precise data on genotype distribution in both genders and different age groups amongst Saudi patients.
Design And Setting: Genotype data from molecular laboratories at four different tertiary care hospitals in Riyadh from January 2006 until December 2010 were collected and analyzed.
