Result: The point-mutations on the S gene that owned the rates of >30% of the population were: S53L (37.7%), A184V/G (39.3%), and S210K/N/R/S (39.3%); from 15 to <30% were
Table: I126T/N
Discussion: We found mutations as Y100C/F, P120S/T, R122K, I126T/N/S, S132P, M133T/S/L/I, G145R (the vaccine escape mutant, 2%), Y200F/W and Y206H/F/C as same as that were reported from other studies (Hudu et al.
Characterization of Antigen Escape Mutations in Chronic HBV-Infected Patients in Upper Egypt.
8Discussion: Several other studies reported other substitutions in the ""a"" determinant region and associated with vaccine escape, such as T116N, P120S/E, I/T126A/N/I/S, Q129H/R, M133L, K141E, and D144A/E."
Detection of Q129H Immune Escape Mutation in Apparently Healthy Hepatitis B Virus Carriers in Southwestern Nigeria.
Introduction: In the following years, other mutations observed on the a-determinant, which are considered as immune escape variants, including T116N, P120S/E, I/T126A/N/I/S, Q129H/R, M133L, K141E, P142S, and D144A/E, have also been reported.

Result: In particular, mutations were detected in 67/63/168 of 298
Result: These mutations were sQ101H/K/R, sS114A/L/T, sT118A/K/M/R/S/V, sP120A/L/Q/S/T, sT/I126A/N/P/S, sM133I/L/T, sC137W/Y, sG145A/R, and sA159G/V.

4Method: Of these, a RT mutation in the A-B interdomain, rtD134E/N, which also cause a simultaneous sI126N/S mutation of the HBsAg ""a"" determinant, was found to have the highest frequency in treatment-naive patients (1.70%) (Figure 2)."
Method: Notably, these authors also found that RT mutations in the A-B interdomain could lead to simultaneous AA substitutions
Method: Since rtD134N also causes an amino acid change in HBsAg (sI126N/V), it can induce changes in the antigenic properties of HBsAg.
Hepatitis B infection among HIV infected individuals in Gabon: Occult hepatitis B enhances HBV DNA prevalence.
Method: In addition, we looked for Vaccine Escape Mutants (VEMs) and polymorphic mutations outside (Y100C, Q101H, S117N, T118R and P120S) and within the HBsAg immuno-dominant 'a' determinant (I/T126A/N, A128V, Q129H/R, G130N, M133L/T, K141E, S143L, D144A/H/E and G145R).
Prevalence of S gene mutations within the major hydrophilic region of hepatitis B virus in patients in Dongguan, southern China.
Abstract: Furthermore, the mutations sY100C, sQ101R/K, sS114A, sP120T, sT/I126A/N/S, sQ129R, sM133L/T/S and sG145R/A were prevalent in at least one genotype, with a frequency higher than 1%, which indicated that these mutations were relatively common.
Molecular evolution of hepatitis B vaccine escape variants in China, during 2000-2016.
Abstract: Four sites (A5T/S, L21S, T/A126S and T/N131I/A) and 13 sites (N3S, T5A, G10Q/R/E, L21S, T47K/A/V, L98V/P, I/S126N/V/T, Q129H/R/L, T131P/I/N/A, G145A/R, L175S/F, L213I/S, V224A/G) were found to be under positive selection in genotype B and C HBV vaccine escape strains, re
Temporal trend of hepatitis B surface mutations in the post-immunization period: 9 years of surveillance (2005-2013) in eastern China.
8Discussion: Of the 11 positions where mutations occurred in ""alpha"" determinant region, the most frequent mutation position was aa 126 (I126S/N and T126A, 29.63%), and 145 (G145R/A, 25.93%), all of which were known to act as VEMs, accounting for more than half of the total mutation strains wither the ""alpha"" determinant."
Abstract: The hottest mutation position was aa126 (I126S/N and T126A, 29.63%), and aa 145 (G145R/A, 25.93%).
Result: Eight types of these mutations (I126S, I126N, Q129H, S143L, D144A, D144E, PMID: 28673869

Abstract: CD8+/CD4+ T-cell epitopes and B-cell epitopes in the major hydrophilic region (MHR), such as sI126N and sG145R possibly involved in the rare coexisting Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg)/anti-HBs serological pattern.
