Abstract: Additionally, mutations were more common in early stages of
liver disease in HBV subgenotype F2-infected patients, and a significant association between this subgenotype and the emergence of
T 1753C,
A1762T,
A1762T/
G1764A (p=0.04) and
C1773T (p=0.001) mutations in chronic patients was found, when compared to the HBV subgenotype F3.
