Abstract: In addition, this new variant had the
rtL180M mutation and a 12 base pair deletion in the
pre-S1 region between nucleotides 43-54.
Abstract: In conclusion, the results indicate that, in addition to a Met --> Val and Met --> Ile change in
YMDD, a Met --> Ser change at
rt204 (
YMDD -->
YSDD) associated with the
rtL180M change can also emerge during lamivudine treatment, which confers lamivudine resistance in vivo and in vitro, leading to virological breakthrough and ALT increases.
Abstract: Of the seven patients, six were
HBeAg positive at baseline, and four had a double mutation consisting of
