Abstract:
:Hemophiliac patients with chronic hepatitis C might be exposed to and become infected with multiple hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains by means of frequent use of blood products, even if they are infected with a single subtype of HCV. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed the genetic diversity of hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) of HCV in chronically infected hemophiliacs and in patients with chronic posttransfusion hepatitis with a single HCV inoculation. The diversity of nucleotide sequences in HVR1 of serum HCV RNA was compared between 21 hemophiliacs infected with a single HCV subtype and 16 patients with posttransfusion HCV infection. The number of HCV quasispecies was determined by fluorescence single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. Direct sequencing was performed to determine the diversity in HVR1. The number of HCV quasispecies in the blood was 5.2 +/- 2.0 clones in hemophiliacs and 4.0 +/- 2.3 clones in posttransfusion patients, a nonsignificant difference (P = .0943). The number of sites at which the nucleotide was not homogenous in all quasispecies was significantly higher in hemophiliacs (13.0% +/- 7.4%) than in posttransfusion hepatitis patients (2.7% +/- 2.8%; P < .0001). In conclusion, there was a high degree of genetic variation in HVR1 of HCV specimens isolated from hemophiliacs compared with posttransfusion patients. These findings indicate the possibility that multiple infections of a single HCV subtype may occur among patients frequently exposed to blood products; single HCV subtypes may therefore derive from multiple origins.
