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.

Discussion: Of 17 NRTI-naive patients, 2 had NRTI-resistance mutations detectable only by UDPS, including rtM204I at a level of 1.3% in one patient and rtA181T and rtM204I at levels of 1.0% in another patient.
Discussion: The accessory 3TC-resistance mutation V173L was detected in 5 samples in which the primary 3TC-resistance mutations rtL180M and rtM204V/I were detected by direct PCR sequencing, a finding that does not influence HBV cross-resistance.
Discussion: Unrecognized G-to-A hypermutation may be responsible for over-estimation of the proportion of NRTI-resistance mutations caused by G
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.
