Evidence
|
In the preCore region, G1896A was the most common mutation (55.2%), whereas other mutations that prevent HBeAg synthesis, such as those affecting the preCore initiation codon (nt 1814–1816), mutations (C1817T, G1897A), insertions and deletions that create a premature stop codon, were observed in a lower frequency (33.3%).
