Evaluation of the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 real-time PCR assay for quantifying HCV RNA in Moroccan patients: A comparative study with COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV v2.0
Purpose
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA quantification is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring chronic HCV treatment. Cost-effective methods are crucial to ensure accessibility. This study evaluated the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 Real-Time PCR assay's effectiveness in EDTA-plasma and serum, comparing it with the COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HCV v2.0 (CAP/CTM HCV v2.0) test.
Methods
105 matched pairs of EDTA-plasma and serum specimens (91 positive and 14 negative) from HCV infected Moroccan patients were analyzed using the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 assay and compared to the CAP/CTM HCV v2.0 test, being the reference method.
Results
The values obtained by the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 in plasma were slightly higher than those in serum (3.94 ± 2.23 log10 IU/mL versus 3.91 ± 2.22 log10 IU/mL) and were both significantly lower than those quantified by the CAP/CTM HCV v2.0 assay (4.34 ± 2.28 log10 IU/mL; p < 0.001). High correlations were observed between the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 serum and CAP/CTM HCV v2.0 (R2 = 0.9433), the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 plasma and CAP/CTM HCV v2.0 (R2 = 0.949) and the Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 serum and plasma (R2 = 0.9954). HCV RNA was detected in all tested genotypes by both assays.
Conclusion
The Fluorion HCV QNP v3.0 assay demonstrated excellent performance in comparison with the CAP/CTM HCV v2.0 on both plasma and serum samples which can be used interchangeably for HCV quantification. The test was shown to be suitable for disease monitoring including all HCV genotypes.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
