Scientists call the different types of hepatitis c “genotypes.” Each hepatitis C genotype has a different genetic makeup that helps define it. There are six basic genotypes. Scientists break ...

There are different types or genotypes of hepatitis C, the most common being genotypes 1, 2, and 3. The genotype determines treatment, but generally, methods are effective in treating all genotypes.

the researchers found that while genotype 1 is the most prevalent worldwide, the other genotypes together make up more than half of all hepatitis C cases. Dr Graham Cooke, a joint senior author of ...
