Abstract: Entecavir (ETV) resistance (ETVr) results from HBV reverse transcriptase substitutions at positions T184, S202, or M250, which emerge in the presence of lamivudine (LVD) resistance substitutions M204I/V +/- L180M.

Result: Among the NRTI-resistance mutations, M204I was detected in 1.3% of the sequence reads in the sample from subject A7; A181T and M204I were present in 1.0% of the sequence reads in the sample from subject E6.
Result: For sample A7, M204I was found in 1 of 64 clones sequenced by dideoxynucleotide sequencing; however, that clone had 2 stop codons and G-to-A hypermutation.
Result: For the sample from subject E6, A181T and M204I were each found in 1 of 80 molecular clones; the clone with M204I had G-to-A hypermutation and 2 stop codons.
Result: Table 4 shows the influence of G-to-A hypermutation at the 3 codons at which a G-to-A change is responsible for a drug-resistance mutation (A181T,
Evolution of hepatitis B virus polymerase mutations in a patient with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B virus treated with sequential monotherapy and add-on nucleoside/nucleotide analogues.
Abstract: BACKGROUND/AIMS: Lamivudine (LAM) resistance is frequently associated with various types of genomic changes in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA including YMDD mutations (rtM204V/I).
Abstract: RESULTS: All the 97 patients had genotype C HBV associated with rtM204V/I mutations; 63 (65%) rtM204I, 27 (28%) rtM204V and seven (7%) both.
Abstract: The rtM204I and rtM204V variants were strongly associated with rtL80V/I and
Frequent detection of hepatitis B virus variants associated with lamivudine resistance in treated South African patients infected chronically with different HBV genotypes.
Abstract: Of the 17 patients, 13 (76.5%) carried YMDD mutations: 7 with rtM204I (2 HBeAg-positive and 5 HBeAg-negative) and 6 with rtM204V (4 HBeAg-positive and 2 HBeAg-negative).
Effect of HIV co-infection on mutation patterns of HBV in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.
Abstract: Replication-competent HBV constructs containing the naturally occurring rtQ215H, rtQ215P and rtQ215S mutations were generated, and compared to wild-type, LAM- (rtM204I, rtL180M/rtM204V) and ADV-resistant (rtN236T) clones.
