Abstract: Compared with the HBsAg-positive HCC controls, occult HBV-infected HCC patients had higher frequencies of M1I and Q2K in pre-S2 gene, G185R and S210N in surface gene, A36T and A44L in X gene, and G1721A in enhancer II gene, and had lower rates of pre-S deletions and A1762T/G1764A, PMID: 19456899

Abstract: In multivariate analysis, G1896A mutation (odds ratio [OR], 13.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.75-66.64), serum HBV DNA more than 5.23 log copies/mL (OR, 5.14; 95% CI, 1.10-24.15) and total bilirubin more than 10.35 mg/mL (OR, 7.81; 95% CI, 1.77-34.51) were independently associated with a fulminant outcome by transient HBV infection.
Abstract: RESULTS: Higher HBV DNA levels, subgenotype B1/Bj, A1762T/G1764A, G1896A, G1899A and A2339G mutation were significantly more frequent (P < 0.05), while hepatitis B e-antigen was less frequent in the FH-T patients than AHB.

Abstract: We assessed the association of continuous viremia with the precore (PC) (G1896A) mutation, basic core promoter (BCP) (A1762T, G1764A) mutations, the viral genotype and the quantity of viral DNA.

Abstract: The precore mutations G1896A and C1858T were not associated with the risk of HCC, regardless of HBeAg status and HBV genotype.
Figure: Summary odds ratios (ORs; in case-control studies) or relative risks (RRs; in cohort studies) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for PreS (A), C1653T (B), T1753V (C), A1762T/G1764A (D), C1858T (E), and G1896A (F) mutations.

Hepatitis B virus genotypes/subgenotypes in voluntary blood donors in Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Result: However, a G-to-A substitution at nucleotide 1896, which prevents the production of HBeAg by introducing a premature stop codon into the open reading frame of the pre-C region, was found in both strains of HBV/D (data not shown).
Hepatitis B precore/core promoter mutations in isolates from HBV-monoinfected and HBV-HIV coinfected patients: a 3-yr prospective study.
Abstract: Regardless of the HIV-coexistence, the Pc mutation at G1896A only barely appeared among clone-derived sequences of GtF1 isolates, mainly from HBe(-) HBV-monoinfected patients.
Downregulation of HLA class II molecules by G1896A pre-core mutation in chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
Abstract: Compared to the patients without this mutation, those with G1896A had lower HAI scores (5.0 +/- 2.8 versus 7.9 +/- 4, p = 0.03).
Abstract: In 30 HBeAg-negative CHB patients the pre-core region of the HBV genome was amplified and sequenced to determine the presence of the mutation G1896A.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the HBV pre-core mutation G1896A on the expression of HLA class II molecules and the core protein of hepatitis B in liver biopsies of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.

Enhanced intracellular retention of a hepatitis B virus strain associated with fulminant hepatitis.
Abstract: The pBFH2 construct with A1762T/G1764A, G1862T, and G1896A showed the largest amount of core particle-associated intracellular HBV DNA, but no significant increase of extracellular HBV DNA in comparison with the wild construct, suggesting that these mutations might work together for retention of the replicative intermediates in the cells.

Introduction: The most frequently encountered point mutation involving the lower stem of the epsilon structure is the A instead of G mutation at position 1896 that induces a stop codon in the preC gene, affects HBeAg expression and has been associated with a severe course of acute hepatitis.

Abstract: Serum pre-S1 and the precore G1896A mutation were simultaneously detected in most of Chinese HBeAg-negative patients.
Abstract: The overall prevalence of the precore G1896A mutation was 72.6% in HBeAg-negative Chinese patients with detectable serum HBV DNA.
Abstract: The prevalence of the precore G1896A is significantly higher in Chinese HBeAg-negative patients with chronic hepatitis B than that in inactive HBV carriers with detectable serum HBV DNA.
Abstract: This study investigated the prevalence of the
