Abstract: The most amino acid substitutions of surface protein were Q129H (34.42%) and A168V (8.2%), other escape mutants observed in this study were P127L/T, S117G, T125M, S143L, D14
Discussion: The Q129H was the most frequently detected escape mutant in this study (34.42%), followed by P127L/T (3.27%) and E164D, S117G/T, D144E, T125M, S143L, 1.63% for each; and their roles in the vaccine escape, Ig response and/or detection have already been established.
Serologic and genotypic characterization of hepatitis B virus in HIV-1 infected patients from South West and Littoral Regions of Cameroon.
Result: Due to the overlap of the polymerase gene with the surface gene, these mutations are accompanied by two mutations in the surface gene; sE164D and sW196L (Fig 1A).
Amino acid similarities and divergences in the small surface proteins of genotype C hepatitis B viruses between nucleos(t)ide analogue-naive and lamivudine-treated patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Abstract: With little influence on immune escape-associated mutation frequencies within 'a' determinant, LMV-monotherapy significantly induced classical LMVr-associated mirror changes sE164D/rtV173L, sI195M/rtM204V and sW196L/S/rtM204I, as well as non-classical ones sG44E/rtS53N, sT47K/A/rt
Analysis of complete nucleotide sequences of Angolan hepatitis B virus isolates reveals the existence of a separate lineage within genotype E.
Result: The two others, LDA173 and LDA339, displayed the lamivudine resistance triple mutation rtV173L, rtL180M, rtM204V/I which causes the concomitant amino acid substitutions E164D/G and I195M in the small S protein (Table 3).
[HBV vaccine escape mutations in a chronic hepatitis B patient treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues].
Abstract: However, multiple HBV vaccine-escape mutations (sS143T + sD144E + sG145R + sE164D + sI195M) have been determined on the HBV overlapping pol/S gene region.
Quasispecies and pre-existing drug-resistant mutations of hepatitis B virus in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Result: In patient 1, changes of the P gene, rtW153Q, rtI169L, rtV173L, rtA181V, and rtM204V, corresponded to change of the S gene, rtG145R, rtF161H, rtE164D, and rtI195M, respectively (Table 4).

Introduction: Furthermore, this combination of mutations also alters the overlapping envelope reading frame causing surface antigen (HBsAg) mutations E164D and I195M, which confer a vaccine escape phenotype.
Genotyping and molecular characterization of hepatitis B virus from human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals in southern Africa.
Discussion: sQ164A, has been shown to reduce the antigenicity of HDV particles and sE164D, with the concomitant rtV173L, a lamivudine escape mutant, has reduced affinity for anti-HBs antibodies in vitro, similar to that of the classical G145R.
Discussion: These included ps1F25L, ps1I48V, ps1V88L/A in the pre-S1 region, ps2M1I,
