HCV Genotyping 1234 RNA Detection Qualitative Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HCV Genotyping 1234 RNA Detection Qualitative Test at a cost of AED 2310.0. This test is used to determine the specific genotype or strain of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) present in a person’s body.
Test Details
The HCV Genotyping 1234 RNA Detection Qualitative Test is a diagnostic test that detects and identifies the presence of HCV RNA in a person’s blood sample. It is specifically designed to determine the genotype of the HCV infection, focusing on genotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4. The test utilizes a method called Real Time PCR, which amplifies the HCV RNA in the sample for detection and subsequent genotyping.
Knowing the genotype of the HCV infection is crucial for guiding treatment decisions, as different genotypes may respond differently to antiviral medications. Genotype 1 is the most common genotype in many parts of the world, including the United States, and often requires longer treatment durations compared to other genotypes.
Please note that this test only detects the presence of HCV RNA and determines the genotype of the virus. Additional tests may be necessary to assess liver damage and develop an appropriate treatment plan for individuals with HCV infection.
Test Components and Price
The HCV Genotyping 1234 RNA Detection Qualitative Test is priced at AED 2310.0. The test can be performed on whole blood, serum, plasma, and tissue samples.
Report Delivery
The report for this test is typically delivered within the 3rd working day via email (within 36 hours) or over the phone (within 24 hours).

Test Details |
HCV genotyping refers to the process of determining the specific genotype or strain of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) present in a person’s body. There are six major genotypes of HCV, labeled as genotypes 1 to 6, with several subtypes within each genotype. The HCV Genotyping 1/2/3/4 (RNA Detection) Qualitative Test is a diagnostic test that detects and identifies the presence of HCV RNA in a person’s blood sample. It is used to determine the genotype of the HCV infection, specifically targeting genotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4. The test is usually performed using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which amplifies the HCV RNA present in the sample, allowing for its detection and subsequent genotyping. The qualitative aspect of the test means that it provides a yes or no answer regarding the presence of HCV RNA and the specific genotypes being tested for. Knowing the genotype of the HCV infection is important for guiding treatment decisions, as different genotypes may respond differently to certain antiviral medications. Genotype 1 is the most common genotype in many parts of the world, including the United States, and often requires longer treatment durations compared to other genotypes. It is important to note that this test only detects the presence of HCV RNA and determines the genotype of the virus. Additional tests may be needed to assess liver damage and determine the appropriate treatment plan for an individual with HCV infection. |
