Discussion: However, G1896A or A1762T/G1764A mutations were not found in this patient with genotype C HBV by DNA sequencing, while A1727T, C1730G and C1799G mutations were found in BCP region, which were reported to be associated significantly with cirrhosis.
rt269I Type of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Polymerase versus rt269L Is More Prone to Mutations within HBV Genome in Chronic Patients Infected with Genotype C2: Evidence from Analysis of Full HBV Genotype C2 Genome.
Introduction: In particular, we showed that rt269I-type infection versus rt269L-type infection leads to enhanced mitochondrial stress-mediated type I interferon (IFN-I) production, resulting in HBV e antigen (HBeAg)-negative infections by generating preC mutations at 1896 (G to A).

Abstract: Her HBV genome was typed as subgenotype B1 and possessed a frameshift mutation due to an insertion of T after nucleotide (nt) 1817 and G to A mutations at nt 1896 and nt 1899 (G1896A/G1899A) in the precore region as well as serine to glutamine substitution of amino acid 21 in the core protein.

Abstract: G1896A switch is one of the hotspots in subjects affected with hepatitis B.
Abstract: Almost 29% (24/82) of the cases remarkably had the presence of G1896A mutation confirmed by LCR and direct sequencing.
Abstract: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Nucleotide Sequencing was done to identify the G1896A mutation in the precore region of the genome.
Abstract: The precore G1896A mutation is responsible for one third of the patients suffering from precore stop codon mutation.
Hepatitis B virus genome diversity in adolescents: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate treatment effect and HBeAg serocon version.
Abstract: The basal core promoter (BCP) variants, A1762T and G1764A, and the pC variant, G1896A, were most often enriched at or after seroconversion.

Abstract: Specific mutations, such as A1762T, G1764A and G1896A, in the BCP/PC region were more common in patients with advanced liver disease and formed the majority of the viral quasispecies pool in patients with LC and HCC.

Abstract: Precore stop codon mutation G1896A was detected in 19 (38%) isolates; 17(34%) among negative patients and 2(4%) in positive patients.
LCR based quick detection of hotspot G1896A mutation in patients with different spectrum of hepatitis B.
Result: Further, an evaluation of APOBEC3G protein levels by immunoblot showed increased amounts in wild type compared to the mock and HBV X/BCP/PC variants (Figure 3A) which was confirmed with densitometry analysis (p-values: vs. mock = 0.0414; vs. G1896A = 0.0205; vs. A1762T/G1764A = 0.0058).
Result: Interestingly, the A1762T/G1764A double mutation HBV has consistently higher levels of supernatant HBV DNA (p-value = 0.0363) and HBV RNA (p-value = 0.0220) in comparison to G1896A HBV variant.
Result: It is interesting to note that both of the X/BCP/PC variants lead to suppression of this cytokine in comparison to wild-type (p-values: vs. G1896A = 0.0509; vs. A1762T/G

Abstract: The population of S3N amino acid substitution and nucleotide G1896A and G1899A mutations in each individual showed a similar percentage of occurrence.
Abstract: The prevalence of the S3N amino acid substitution in the envelope protein and mutations at positions G1896A and G1899A in the precore region were significantly higher in the HBVr compared with AHB.
Hepatitis B virus drug resistance mutations in HIV/HBV co-infected children in Windhoek, Namibia.
Result: Pre-C genomic changes were found in three samples: G1862T in sample 2C, and mixed populations of stop codon G1896A mutant and wild-type virus (W28*W) in samples 3C and 6C.
Table: G1896A/G
Discussion: The Pre-C stop codon G1896A (W28*) mutation, observed in two children, interrupts HBeAg production.
