Kit and method to detect and quantify the natural variants of the hepatitis C virus, genotype 1, subtype a), which comprise the Q80K mutation.

摘要

The invention relates to a diagnostic kit or device, useful for use in pyrosequencing tests, which optionally comprise the reagents necessary to carry out a retrotranscription and amplification process via the chain reaction of the polymerase (RT-PCR) comprising at least one/a number of primer(s) suitable for being hybridised with the SEQ ID NO: 1 and permitting the amplification of a fragment of a maximum of 400 RNA base pairs of the hepatitis C virus, including the natural resistance variant "Q80K", in an RT-PCR method for the purpose of detecting and quantifying the natural variants of the hepatitis C virus, genotype 1, subtype a, comprising the Q80K mutation.
