| Response from Dr. McGovern
 There are six different genotypes of hepatitis C. They are distributed mainly by geography. For example, genotype 4 is mainly found in Egypt, while genotype 6 is mainly in Asia. In the United States, genotype 1 is the most common genotype. You cannot judge the time of onset by the genotype. | ||||||||
