Abstract: De novo HBV infection developed more than 3 years after LT with a lamivudine-resistant polymerase mutant containing the rtM204I and rtl180L/M mutations.
Predominance of hepatitis B virus YMDD mutants is prognostic of viral DNA breakthrough.
Abstract: RFMP exploits differences in molecular masses between wild-type and variant bases of rtM204V/I following PCR amplification of HBV DNA with a lower limit of detection being 100 copies/mL.
Antiviral drug resistance: clinical consequences and molecular aspects.
Abstract: Changes in rtM204I and rtL180M viral loads were greater than that of the rtM204V, albeit statistically insignificant.
Abstract: Moreover, the greatest change in viral load was seen for rtM204I without hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg).
Abstract: We conclude that the rtM204I may be more sensitive to ADV in vivo.
Abstract: We determined early viral changes (12 weeks) in YMDD mutants (rtM204I [YIDD sequence],

Abstract: Lamivudine (LMV)-selected mutations were found in three patients who developed anti-HBs, which occurred in amino acid positions (196, 198, 199) of the surface protein and in YMDD motif (M204I/V) of the polymerase protein simultaneously.
The clinical impact of early detection of the YMDD mutant on the outcomes of long-term lamivudine therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Abstract: Cumulative viral breakthrough rates at 3 years was 75.0% and 14.3% in patients who had the rtM204I mutant and wild-type virus at 3 months, respectively (P=0.002).
Tenofovir for patients with lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and high HBV DNA level during adefovir therapy.
Abstract: Lamivudine-associated mutations (rtV173L, rtL180M, rtM204V/I) could be detected in 6 patients at baseline of TDF, but this obviously did not influence the response.
Detection of YMDD mutation using mutant-specific primers in chronic hepatitis B patients before and after lamivudine treatment.

Abstract: Primer specific to rtM204I with an additional 3'-penultimate base mismatched to both the mutant and wild-type sequence was selected for YIDD detection.
Activity of adefovir dipivoxil against all patterns of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B viruses in patients.
Abstract: In most cases, wild-type HBV was mutated with the substitution of only rtM204I at first, and rtL180M/M204I mutations and then rtL180M/M204V mutations subsequently appeared.
