Abstract: G1862T mutation was observed in the two HBV/A1 patients, resulting in the pre-core amino acid substitution with a switch from valine (Val) to phenylalanine (Phe).
Expression of wild-type or G1862T mutant HBe antigen of subgenotype A1 of hepatitis B virus and the unfolded protein response in Huh7 cells.
Abstract: G1862T was detected in 18 samples, 15 (83%) of them belonged to genotype A (subgenotype HBV/A1), 3 (17%) to genotype D.
Abstract: CONCLUSION: In our community, G1862T mutation was predominantly found in HBV/A1 isolates irrespective of HBeAg status.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of G1862T mutation in hepatitis B virus (HBV) isolates among Eastern Indian patients and its relationship with genotypes, HBeAg status and disease manifestation.
Abstract: The mean viral load was lower in patients with G1862T mutation.
Abstract: These findings indicate that the G1862T mutation is probably a part of the natural variability of HBV/A1.
Basal core promoter, precore region mutations of HBV and their association with e antigen, genotype, and severity of liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis B in India.
1Abstract: A naturally occurring G1862T mutation upstream of the core AUG affects the bulge of the epsilon signal and generates a ""forbidden"" residue at the -3 position of the signal peptide cleavage site."
Abstract: All these mutations antagonized the G1862T mutation on core protein expression.
Abstract: Cotransfection of the G1862T mutant with a replication-deficient HBV genome that provides core protein in trans also restored genome replication.
Mechanism of HBV genome variability and replication of HBV mutants.
Abstract: We found point mutations upstream of the precore ATG codon of genotype Aa suppressed HBeAg expression, while the G1862T mutation in the precore region greatly impaired viral replication.

Abstract: In the pregenome encapsidation (epsilon) signal, a point mutation from G to A or T at nt 1862 was detected in 16 of the 19 (84 %) HBV/Aa isolates but not in any of the 20 HBV/Ae isolates, which may affect virus replication and translation of hepatitis B e antigen.

Abstract: The G-->T substitution at position 1862 leads to an amino acid change in codon 17 of the precore protein of the virus, which is part of a signal peptidase recognition motif.
Abstract: The prevalence of a G1862T variant of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been investigated in patients with fulminant hepatitis and chronic liver disease, using primer mismatch amplification, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.
