Evidence
|
The mutation for a stop codon in the precore region (G1896A) for aborting the translation of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is prohibited in HBV genomes of genotype A, as well as some of genotypes C and F, because they possess C at position 1858 that makes a Watson-Crick pair with G at position 1896.
