 The Genotype/Phenotype Distinction
The distinction that is made between genotype and phenotype is made necessary by the separation of causal pathways that lead on the one hand to the passage of information about organisms between successive generations, and, on the other, to the growth and development of an organism within a generation from conception to death.
The distinction between genotype and phenotype was introduced by Wilhelm Johannsen in 1908 as a consequence of the realization that the hereditary and developmental pathways were causally separate.
The distinction between phenotype and genotype is fundamental to the understanding of heredity and development of organisms.

 Genotype Research 2004
HCV genotype differences seem to be of considerable clinical significance because they affect responses to antiviral therapy.
Background: Hepatitis C virus genotype differences seem to be of considerable clinical significance because they affect responses to antiviral therapy.
It was thought that there may be an association between the duration of therapeutic response during drug therapy (i.e., having an undetectable HCV load in serum for a specific number of weeks continuously) and the probability of attaining a long-term response after discontinuation of therapy.

 Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype, Northern Malawi CDC EID
The genotype may be particularly virulent and have a predilection for developing drug resistance; the multidrug-resistant W strain is a member of this family (1).
The RFLP pattern from the strain with the non-Beijing genotype on spoligotyping, present in only 1 patient, matched the RFLP pattern of a reference strain by 81% but showed a <73% match with the other reference RFLP patterns and a <71% match with the other 12 Beijing genotype RFLP patterns from Malawi.
Taking strains with patterns with >80% similarity to any of the reference patterns as Beijing genotype, and spoligotyping strains showing 75%–80% similarity, this method has been shown to identify Beijing genotype strains with a sensitivity of 96% to 100% and specificity of 98% to 100%, using spoligotyping as the gold standard (11).

 Basics of Hepatitis C - The Question of Genotype.
So, in PEGINTERFERON ALFA 2A (40 KD) clinical studies, doctors decided to find out if patients with genotypes 2 and 3 needed to be on therapy for 48 weeks, or if they could get the same results in less time.
It is important to know your genotype because it may influence how your doctor may treat you with PEGINTERFERON ALFA 2A (40 KD) and/or RIBAVIRIN.

 Genotype-phenotype distinction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concept of phenotypic plasticity describes the degree to which an organism's phenotype is determined by its genotype.
The phenotype of an organism, on the other hand, represents its actual physical properties, such as height, weight, hair color, and so on.
The term "genotype" refers, then, to the full hereditary information of an organism.
