Discussion: The main mutations associated with LMV resistance are located at the RT gene in the 204 position (rtM204I/V), which is in the catalytic YMDD motif.
Discussion: Thus for mutations associated with LMV resistance, the rtM204V change is associated with a I195M change in the S gene (sI195M), while the rtM204I change is associated with three possible changes in the S gene, sW196S, sW196L,

Abstract: The dual L180M + M204V/I mutant was the predominant resistance pattern, although a triple rt173V + 180M + 204V, which acts as a vaccine escape mutant, was found in 1 individual.
The L80I substitution in the reverse transcriptase domain of the hepatitis B virus polymerase is associated with lamivudine resistance and enhanced viral replication in vitro.

Abstract: Collectively, these results suggest that coselection of rtL80V/I and rtM204I/V occurs because the former compensates for the loss of replication efficiency associated with the acquisition of LMV resistance, particularly in the case of rtM204I.
Abstract: Coselection of rtL80V/I occurred in 46% of isolates in which LMV resistance was attributable to rtM204I but only 9% of those in which resistance was attributable to rtM204V.

Abstract: rtA181S without rtM204I/V was found in one patient.
Abstract: All but three patients had baseline rtM204I/V substitutions associated with rtL180M in 23, rtL80I/V in 14, rtV173L in 4, rtT184S in 3, rtQ215S in 2 and rtA181S in 2 cases.
Mutational patterns of hepatitis B virus genome and clinical outcomes after emergence of drug-resistant variants during lamivudine therapy: analyses of the polymerase gene and full-length sequences.
Abstract: Baseline characteristics, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and HBV DNA levels within 6 months after the emergence of YMDD variants did not differ significantly between patients with rtM204I alone and those with rtL180M/rtM204V.
Abstract: Between months 5 and 33 of therapy, mutations from methionine to isoleucine at rt204 (rtM204I) were detected in 18 patients, and mutations from methionine to valine at rt204 (rtM204V) were detected in 12.

Abstract: In all 20 patients, the mutation occurred in the YMDD motif at reverse transcriptase position 204 (rt204; M204V/I) either with or without the compensatory mutation at position rt180 (L180M).
Hepatitis B virus genotypes circulating in Brazil: molecular characterization of genotype F isolates.
Abstract: Virological breakthrough was preceded by 2 to 4 months by the emergence of quasispecies variants bearing amino acid substitutions at RT position 204, i.e., within the YMDD catalytic motif (rtM204V/I).

Abstract: We have studied a 49-year-old patient with a HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in whom, after 34 months of treatment with lamivudine and associated with an increase in the serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, the lamivudine resistance mutations M204I and L180V were detected.

Abstract: These compounds were also found to retain sensitivity against lamivudine-resistant HBV containing a single mutation (M204I) and double mutations (L180M/M204V).
