Title	Novel patterns of amino acid mutations in the hepatitis B virus polymerase in association with resistance to lamivudine therapy in japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Author	Ogata N,Fujii K,Takigawa S,Nomoto M,Ichida T,Asakura H
Evidence	Lamivudine resistance has been attributed mainly to a substitution of isoleucine or valine for methionine at residue 550 (M550I or M550V) in the catalytic site of the virus polymerase.
