Introduction: These two categories are known as classical mutations, which include: (i)
M204I/V mutation, which associates with LAM or LDT resistance; (ii)
N236T or
A181T/V mutations, which associate with ADV resistance; (iii)
M204V +
L180M and either
T184A/G/I/L/S or
S202G or
M250V to develop resistance to ETV.
Result: Interestingly, mutation pattern of
A181T associated to
F221Y was detected after 22 months of TDF monotherapy with virological and biochemical breakthrough in case two.
