Abstract: CONCLUSION: The frequency of genotype C HBV
preS T3098C and
T53C mutations is associated with hepatitis B infection progression.
Abstract: The rate of
T3098C mutation in ASC,
CHB,
LC, and
HCC patients were 0.00% (0/24), 3.85% (1/26), 9.09% (2/22), and 30.77% (8/22), respectively (P=0.0015), while the rate of
T53C mutation was 12.50% (3/24), 3.85% (1/26), 40.91% (9/22), and 42.31% (11/26), respectively (P=0.0012).
