Highly replicating hepatitis C virus variants emerge in immunosuppressed patients causing severe disease

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) exists as a heterogenous quasispecies, but the phenotypic consequences of viral variability are widely unexplored. Here we identify a replication enhancing domain (ReED) in non-structural protein 5A conferring high replication fitness to clinical isolates. Accumulation of mut...
