Broad Range of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Patterns, Dual Circulation of Quasi-Subgenotype A3 and HBV/E and Heterogeneous HBV Mutations in HIV-Positive Patients in Gabon.
Method: Using the Mutation Reporter Tool software (http://hvdr.bioinf.wits.ac.za/mrt/), HBV resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in the pol gene represented by V173L, L180M, A181V, A194T, S202G, M204V/I and N236T were assessed.
Result: Regarding RAMs, the mutation M204V/I, associated with the compensatory mutation L180M, was significantly more common in genotype HBV/A (9/19, 47.4%) than in genotype HBV/E (0/9, 0%) (Yate's corrected chi2, P = .04) (Fig 6, Table 2).

Discussion: At baseline, patient 1 harbored rtL180 M (2.09%), rtS202G (3.42%), and rtM204 V (3.45%) mutations, the frequencies of which rose to 19.12%, 18.33%, and 19.95%, respectively, after 1 year of treatment, but these changes did not cause virological breakthrough.
Discussion: In patient 5, when the resistant variants (rtL180 M, rtM204 V, rtS202G) began to rise to a high peak (84.60%, 79.56%, 76.88%) at 2 years, virological breakthrough occurred.
Discussion: In the present study, 7 patients harbored the rt

Abstract: Mutations in HBV DNA polymerase were detected in 24 patients (8.9%) including rtM204I/V (n=6), rtN236T (n=5), rtM250V (n=2), rtL180M (n=2), rtT184G (n=1), rtM207I (n=1), rtS202I (n=1), rtM204V/I & rtL180M (n=5), and rtM204I &

Abstract: Clonal analysis further revealed that the rtS202G or rtT184F was in all cases co-localized with rtL180M and rtM204V in any single virus isolate clone.
Abstract: In patient A, the rtL180M, rtS202G and rtM204V mutant variants were detected using pyrosequencing prior to virological breakthrough.
Abstract: In patient B, the rtL180M, rtM204I and

Abstract: Each of the NAs had dominant drug-resistant mutational profiles, with rtM204I+rtL180M+-rtL80I (30.9%) for LAM, rtA181T/N (21.3%), rtS213T/N (21.3%) and rtV214A (21.3%) for ADV, rtl180M (48%) for ETV, rtM204I for LdT, and rtA194T for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).
Higher detection rates of amino acid substitutions in HBV reverse transcriptase/surface protein overlapping sequence is correlated with lower serum HBV DNA and HBsAg levels in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients with subgenotype B2.

Abstract: In addition, two patients harboring drug resistance mutations rtL80V+rtM204I and rtL180M+rtM204V were found.

Abstract: The turn of secondary protein structure of P gene changed to beta sheet when a rtM204V mutation occurred, and no change of secondary protein structure was associated with the rtL180M mutation.
Abstract: Two patients with rtM204V + rtL180M belonged to genotype C and another patient with rtL180M alone belonged to genotype D.

Abstract: T54N, L80I/V, I91L/V, L180M, M204I/V, Q215P/S, and F221Y/S showed the highest number of mutations in all groups with different frequencies.
Result: L180M mutation (common to both LAM and
Discussion: It is interesting to note that mutants L180M and M204I that were detected during LAM and ADV breakthrough showed a high prevalence in the LAM-only group (25 and 50%, respectively), followed by a low frequency in the ADV-only group (9.9 and 23%, respectively), whereas they showed a very high frequency in group III in which the patients received ADV after LAM breakthrough (43.75 and 68.75%, respectively).
