[The drug resistance mutation detection and relevant factors analysis of HBV P region in chronic hepatitis B patients in Weifang City, Shandong Province].
Abstract: Among 11/127 (8.7%) patients with high-level persistent viraemia (last HBV VL: >=10(5) copies/ml), only two harboured incident LAM-resistance mutations at positions rtV173L+rtL180M+rtM204V with no patient exhibiting TDF/FTC-resistance.
Characterization of novel entecavir resistance mutations.
Abstract: Three major patterns of mutations in HBV polymerase gene, namely single (rtM204V), double (rtL180M+rtM204V) and triple (rtV173L+rtL180M+rtM204V) mutations, are associated with 3TC-resistance; additionally, the triple mutation has vaccine-escape potential due to a corresponding change in overlapping surface gene.
Long-term outcomes and dynamics of mutants associated with lamivudine-adefovir rescue therapy in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.
Abstract: The baseline mutation profiles, rtM204I (p=0.992), rtM204I/V (p=0.177), and rtL180
Discussion: Furthermore, rtL180M mutations were newly emerged in four patients as minor population at 48 weeks of LAM-ADV combination therapy but they were restored as baseline mutation profile at 96 weeks.
Discussion: In the present study, baseline rtL180M was not associated with cumulative virological response.
Discussion: The rtL180M could compensate for the impact of a mutation in the YMDD motif on viral replication in vitro.
Investigation into drug-resistant mutations of HBV from 845 nucleoside/nucleotide analogue-naive Chinese patients with chronic HBV infection.
Abstract: Especially the lamivudine resistance mutations rtL180M/rtM204V and rtM204I were detected.
Discussion: Besides other previously described resistance mutations, the best-described drug resistance mutations are the LAM resistance mutations rtL180M and rtM204V/I and the adefovir resistance mutations rtA181V/T and rtN236T.
