Characterization of a novel hepatitis C virus genotype 1 subtype from a patient failing 4 weeks of glecaprevir-pibrentasvir treatment

Limited information is available in relation to surveillance, genotyping, genome sequences, and treatment outcomes for rare hepatitis C virus variants. Here, we have characterized a novel subtype of major hepatitis C virus genotype 1, which was deep sequenced before and after treatment failure with 4 weeks of glecaprevir and pibrentasvir.
