Result: Additional specificity testing was performed on single mutant templates (
rtL180M,
rtM204V, or
rtV173L) and the double mutant template
rtM204V and
L180M, the most common clinically relevant double mutant.
Result: Previous consensus sequencing characterized the sample as containing HBV genotype A with the
rtM204V mutation, but the additional
rtV173L and
rtL180M mutations were not detected (data not shown).
Result: The sensitivity of the quantitative t
