Aim: To determine the molecular epidemiology and characterization of hepatitis D virus (HDV) genotypes circulating in different provinces of Iran. Patients & methods: In this study, the presence of HDV RNA was tested in sera that were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and HDV antibody by nested-PCR. HDV genotypes were subsequently analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay and then confirmed by sequencing. Results: 86.5 of positive PCR patients had genotype I and 8.1 had genotype II while the genotype of 5.4 of the patients remained undetermined by RFLP. Sequencing followed by phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that all the Iranian isolates were from genotype I. Conclusion: Although analyzing the RFLP of RT-PCR is a simpler method, the gold standard of genotyping of HDV is the phylogenetic analysis based on sequencing. © 2018 Future Medicine Ltd.
