Method: Association of
G1986A with few parameters such as
HBeAg status, genotype,
liver diseases and e-seroconversion rate were statistically determined by chi-square analysis.
Method: The consensus sequences were then analyzed at the
basal core promoter (
BCP),
precore (
PC) and
core (
C) region and particularly observed for presence of
G1986A mutation.
Discussion: When
G1986A mutation is paired with
C1858T, the epsilon structure is more stabilized, thus enhancing viral replication.
