n.a.: not applicable because of different natural amino acid sequence in the respective HCV geno-/subtype (K24, M28, Q30, and H58 are the dominant amino acids in GT1a; F28 is the dominant amino acid in subtype 2a and L28 in subtype 2b; A30 is the dominant amino acid in GT3).
n.o.: not observed.
n.d.: no data available.
GT: genotype.
