Epidemiology, risk factors and genotypes of HBV in HIV-infected patients in the northeast region of Colombia: high prevalence of occult hepatitis B and F3 subgenotype dominance.
Result: There were three patients with four amino acid substitutions in the MHR (Q101H; C149R; L158G; G159R).
Table: G159R
Discussion: Mutations in the MHR (Q101H, C149R, L158G and G159R) were identified in three patients (one of which did not have any hepatitis B serological markers).
Discussion: The mutation G159R has been observed in Iran among HBsAg-positive individuals with genotype D whereas mutation Q101H was found in an OBI patient in India.
