Evidence
|
The frequency of the I27V mutation in the HBV core gene, which produces a core 18-27 peptide capable of binding HLA-A*02, was compared in Chinese patients with severe liver inflammation (n = 77, including 39 with acute-on-chronic liver failure), moderate liver inflammation (n = 44) and inactive disease (n = 45).
