Molecular assay reagents intended to identify hepatitis G virus, an RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae, by detecting the nucleic acid of the target virus. Hepatitis G virus may cause both acute and chronic hepatitis, diseases characterized by jaundice and the increase of some enzymes in serum (e.g., aspartate aminotransferase); these viruses may be transmitted parenterally, perinatally, or by intimate (e.g., sexual) contact.
