title: [Comparative analysis of fragments of HGV NS5b-region isolated in Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyztan].
abstract: Nucleotide sequence of a 356 nt fragment of the NS5 region of the hepatitis G virus (HGV) genome was determined in 7 strains isolated in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrghyzstan. Philogenetic analysis showed that all isolated strains genetically differed from the West African strain described previously (type 1) and are closely related to strains isolated in the USA and South-Eastern Asia (type 2). Hence, the strains from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrghyzstan belong to type 2 variant of HGV genome.
