Table 2 Results of HCV genotype determination in HCC patients (n = 83)¹

HCV genotype	No. of HCC cases	Percentage
1a	8	9.63
1b	2	2.40
3a	34	40.96
3b	13	15.66
3a + 3b	10	12.48
1a + 3a	8	9.63
1a + 3b	6	7.22
NT	2	2.40

¹Eighty-one were positive for tissue/serum RNA by PCR and positive for serum anti-HCV, and two were positive for tissue/serum RNA by PCR but negative for serum anti-HCV. Eleven patients with HCC caused by HCV were not genotyped, as these were anti-HCV-positive by ELISA, but were HCV-RNA-negative, thus they could not be genotyped utilizing the molecular genotyping method. NT: Not typed.
