title: [Clonning and sequencing of partial gene of hepatitis G virus (HGV) from Nanjing of China].
abstract: Partial gene of hepatitis G virus (HGV) was cloned and sequenced from the serum of a patient with post-transfusion hepatitis C in Nanjing of China by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The sequence showed 89.09%, 92.12%, 87.27%, 93.94% nucleotide identity over the corresponding region of HGU44402, HGU45966, HGU36380 in America and HGV isolate in Hebei Province of China respectively. Forty patients with post-transfusion hepatitis C and thirty patients with hepatitis non A-E were detected for HGV RNA by RT-PCR, the HGV RNA positive rate were 10.00% and 6.67% respectively.
