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).
Successful treatment of an entecavir-resistant hepatitis B virus variant.
Abstract: Direct sequence analysis of the ETV-resistant strain showed appearance of amino acid substitution rtS202G in the reverse transcriptase (RT) domain, together with rtL180M + M204V substitution that had developed at the emergence of LAM-resistant mutant.
Abstract: In conclusion, this study showed that virological and biochemical breakthrough due to ETV could occur in patients infected with LAM-resistant HBV and confirmed that the addition of rtS202G substitution to the rtL180M + M204V mutant strain is responsible for ETV resistance and we could treat the resistant
Efficacy of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in treating lamivudine-resistant HBV reactivation following hepatitis B surface antigen seroconversion.
Result: One (209-CW) displayed the double rtL180M-rtM204V lamivudine-resistance mutation and the other (043-N) showed an additional rtV173L mutation,

Discussion: The frequent lamivudine-resistance rtL180M-rtM204V double mutation was detected in two isolates (043-N and 209-CW), while a third isolate (043-N) displayed a rare rtV173L-rtL180M-rtM204V triple mutation (Table 2).

Abstract: The triple-HBV mutant rtV173L + rtL180M + rtM204V, which has been shown to produce a diminished hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen-antibody binding, was found in 3 individuals, all coinfected with HIV and HBV.

Abstract: The isolate from the hepatitis patient showed a double mutation at codon positions 180 (L180M) and 204 (M204V), thus a 2.6% prevalence of genotypic resistance to lamivudine was found.
Dynamics of hepatitis B virus resistance to lamivudine.
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).
Successful rescue therapy with tenofovir in a patient with hepatic decompensation and adefovir resistant HBV mutant.
Conclusion: Sequencing of the HBV polymerase revealed two common lamivudine resistant mutations - rtL180M and rtM204V.
Conclusion: Two adefovir resistant mutations, rtA181T and rtN236T, were detected, whereas previous lamivudine resistant mutations, rtL180M and rtM204V, were absent.
Discussion: reported recently decreased in vitro susceptibility to both tenofovir and adefovir of two HBV resistant mutants (N236T adefovir and

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