Result: Those omitted included R122K which is the determinant for subtyping HBsAg as ad versus ay, T126I for genotype C, A128V for genotype D2, and T131N for genotype A1.

Occult HBV among Anti-HBc Alone: Mutation Analysis of an HBV Surface Gene and Pre-S Gene.
Abstract: Specifically, the incidence of five OBI-related major hydrophilic region mutations (sS117T, sT118K, sT131N, sT134Y/L, and sD144E) was significantly higher in blood donors with OBI than in controls.
Molecular epidemiology of hepatitis B virus isolated from Bangladesh.
Abstract: A significant number of mutations (Thr118Val, Thr125Met, Thr126Ile, Pro127Thr, Ala128Val, Thr131Asn/Ser, Thr/Ser143Leu/Met) were found in 'a' determinant region which may admit resistance to the available vaccines and failure of HBsAg detection.
Discussion: Furthermore, Sequences of genotype C were found to have Thr126Ile and Thr131Ser mutations, and genotype A sequences have only Thr131Asn mutation in 'a' determinant region.
Serologic and genotypic characterization of hepatitis B virus in HIV-1 infected patients from South West and Littoral Regions of Cameroon.
Abstract: Escape mutations associated with failure of diagnosis (Y100C, R122K and Q129H) and with vaccine escape (Q129R and T131N) were detected in varying frequencies in the population.
Table: T131N
Discussion: There were three escape mutations identified which were previously associated with diagnostic failure (Y100C, R122K and Q129H) and two associated with vaccine escape (Q129H and T131N).
Overt and occult hepatitis B virus infection among treatment-naive HIV-infected patients in Brazil.
Result: Amino acid substitution mutations in the major hydrophilic region predicted from eleven clones of HBV from the mother's sample include D99N, T131N, F161S and V168A.
Result: Amino acid substitutions in the major hydrophilic region predicted from twelve clones of HBV from the father's sample include T115I, T116A, S117G, T118K, 123N, Q129L, T131N, M133L, M133S, F134L,
Discussion: The remaining two also have detection escape mutations (T131N and M133L).

Infection, genetics and evolution
1Abstract: Mutations associated with immune-escape (T131N, D144A/E, G145K), amino acid polymorphisms in ""a determinant"" domain of S protein and mutations/deletions in preC/C region were found in isolates from acute and chronic hepatitis B cases."
Seroepidemiology and occult hepatitis B virus infection in young adults in Banjarmasin, Indonesia.
Abstract: Thirteen amino acid substitutions were identified: T126S, P127S, Q129R, T131N, M133T, and Y161S in the HBsAg-positive group; P120T, T126I, G145S, Y161F, E164V, and V168F in the occult-HBV group; and T143S in both groups.
