Abstract: The C1505A mutation in X region, T1753V and A1762T/G1764A mutations in the basal core promoter region and C1858T in precore (PC) region were frequent and only detected in patients with ALD (28.9, 40, 73.5 and 17.6%, respectively), whereas the G1896A mutation in the PC region was frequently detected in HBV carriers.
Association of HBsAg mutation patterns with hepatitis B infection outcome: Asymptomatic carriers versus HCC/cirrhotic patients.
Abstract: A number of truncation-related mutations were higher in HCC/Cirrhotic group (P>0.001), albeit only C69* stop codon was statistically significant (P=0.003).
Abstract: CONCLUSION: The higher frequency of substitutions in MHR and immune epitopes at positions such as Y134 and P120 as well as stop codons such as C69* in HCC/cirrhotic group might candidate them as predictive factors for infection outcome.
Abstract: However, Y134N/F/L (P=0.04) and P120T/S (P=0.009) were significantly detected in MHR and B-cell epitope of HCC/ PMID: 31130119

Abstract: Because of the HBV pol/S gene overlapping, in 27 patients immun-selected amino acid substitutions (sI110L, sT127P, sS114A, sT123A), in nine patients HBIg selected escape mutants (sP120R, sT123N, sE164D, sY134F, sQ129H, sT118A,
[Determination of reverse transcriptase inhibitor nucleoside analogue resistance profile in pretreatment phase of patients with viral hepatitis B].
Abstract: However, potential drug resistance mutations such as rtR164R, rtG165D/A, rtG172Q, rtS176N, rtF178V, rtA181G, rtS185N/G/C, rtV207M, rtQ215H/S, rtL231V, rtI233K, rt
Potential resistant mutations within HBV reverse transcriptase sequences in nucleos(t)ide analogues-experienced patients with hepatitis B virus infection.
Abstract: 13/98 (13.27%) of patients had M539I/V substitutions corresponding to YMDD motif.
Abstract: Drug resistance conferring substitutions (DRCSs) were rtL180M (22/98), rtA194V (11/98), rtM204V (1/98), and rtM204I (11/98).
Abstract: Two substitutions N459Y and L515M were significantly correlated (R2 = 0.486 and R2 = 0.941 respectively) with FLLAQ motif variation.

Abstract: Primary or secondary NA resistance (NAr) mutations were not found, except A181T in RT (rtA181T) by Sanger sequencing, but they were detected by next-generation sequencing.
Discussion: Currently, the well-known classical NA resistance mutations are mainly located in domains B, C, D, and E, such as rtI169T, rtA181T/V, and rtT184A/C/F/G/I/L/M (located in domain B), rtS202C/G/I and rtM204I/V/S (located in domain C),
Complementation of Wild-Type and Drug-Resistant Hepatitis B Virus Genomes to Maintain Viral Replication and Rescue Virion Production under Nucleos(t)ide Analogs.
Abstract: In the present study, HBV genomes with frequently detected reverse transcriptase (RT)/surface truncation MTs, rtA181T/sW172*, rtV191I/sW182* and rtM204I/sW196*, were phenotypically characterized alone or together with their WT counterparts in different ratios by transient transfection in the absence or presence of NAs.
Frequency of Hepatitis B Virus Resistance Mutations in Women Using Tenofovir Gel as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis.
Abstract: None of the known tenofovir resistance mutations (M240V/I, L180M, A194T, V214A, N238T) were identified in any individuals.
Result: Although the frequency of amino acid substitutions were not significantly different, a total of 16 amino acid substitutions in the polymerase domain occurred only in tenofovir-experienced isolates compared to tenofovir-naive isolates, including S117Y, S117C, I121N, T128I, M129L, R138K, R138E, L140P, V142A,
