Figure 5. Nucleotide divergence compared according to disease status.

Figure 5

The value of each amplified fragment covering HCV genome was considered as an independent data point. Panel A, synonymous nucleotide divergence (dS). Panel B, non-synonymous nucleotide divergence (dN). Panel C, synonymous nucleotide divergence per year (dS/year). Panel D, non-synonymous nucleotide divergence per year (dN/year). A significant difference of dN/year was found between the participants with consistent mild disease and those with mild to severe disease (pā€Š=ā€Š0.008). Panel E, dN/dS ratio. A significant difference of dN/dS ratio was found between the participants with consistent mild disease and those with mild to severe disease (pā€Š=ā€Š0.003).
