Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping

Order Code:                  MHCVG

Reference Laboratory:   Mayo HCVG

 

New test codes MHCVG Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping (Mayo test ID HCVG) (CPT 87902) and HCVGR Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping Resolution (Mayo test ID HCVGR) (CPT 87902) will be available effective August 30, 2022.

 

Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping Resolution will be performed at an additional charge if indicated:

 

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping result

Interpretation

Resolution test (reflex test) performed?

1a

1a is the definitive subtype/genotype

No

1b

1b is the definitive subtype/genotype

No

2

2 is the definitive genotype

No

3

3 is the definitive genotype

No

4

4 is the definitive genotype

No

5

5 is the definitive genotype

No

1

A definitive genotype/subtype (1a, 1b, 6) could not be assigned. Resolution testing ordered.

Yes

1a, 2 (any 2 genotypes)

Result may be due to mixed genotype infection, recombination of HCV genotypes, or assay probe cross-reactivity.

No

1, 3 (2 genotypes with a 1 no subtype)

Result may be due to mixed genotype infection, recombination of HCV genotypes, or assay probe cross-reactivity. Resolution testing ordered.

Yes

HCV not detected

Assay failed to detect HCV RNA.

No

Indeterminate (undetermined genotype)

HCV RNA detected, but genotype could not be determined. Resolution testing ordered.

Yes

Indeterminate (mix)

Result may be due to mixed genotype infection, recombination of HCV genotypes, or assay probe cross-reactivity.

No

 

An "Undetected" result indicates the absence of detectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in the specimen.
