Discussion: For example, RAMs in HBV reverse transcriptase, A181T/V, M204I and M204V, cause corresponding changes in the overlapping region of HBsAg (W172 stop, W196S/L/Stop and I195M, respectively).
Identification of mutations in the S gene of hepatitis B virus in HIV positive Mexican patients with occult hepatitis B virus infection.
Result: Because the entire S gene is embedded within the viral polymerase gene, some viral polymerase mutations that confer drug resistance can cause amino acid sequence changes in HBsAg; major ones include E164D, W172L, L173F, I195M and W196L/S/V.
Hepatitis B virus drug resistance mutations in HIV/HBV co-infected children in Windhoek, Namibia.
Abstract: Resistance mutations included rtL80I, rtV173L, rtL180M, rtM204I/V and the overlapping sE164D, sW182*, sI195M and sW196LS variants.
Result: Amino acid changes including rtL80I, rtV173L, rtL180M,

Result: In the present study, the most prevalent mutations were those in the S region (sP120Q, sQ129R, sT131I, sM133I, sG145R, sY161F/H, sI195M/T, sW196S/L, sW199C/L and sM213I/T; Table III).

Introduction: For instance, I195M in the S protein (sI195M) and sW196S can produce rtM204I and rtL180M/rtM204I in RT, which could confer resistance to LMV.

Method: RT mutations rtN139K/T/H and rtM204I/V also cause simultaneous mutations in the overlapped HBsAg coding sequence (sT131N/P and sI195M, or sW196S/L/Stop).
Method: The mutations rtA181T/V, rtM204I, and rtM204V also cause the simultaneous HBsAg mutations,
Immune-escape mutations and stop-codons in HBsAg develop in a large proportion of patients with chronic HBV infection exposed to anti-HBV drugs in Europe.
Abstract: The immune-associated escape mutations and the NA-induced immune-escape mutations sI195M, sI196S, and sE164D (resulting from drug-resistance mutation rtM204 V, rtM204I, and rtV173L) were retrieved from literature and examined.
Method: We also analyzed the prevalence of the NA-induced immune-escape mutations sI195M, sI196S, and sE164D (resulting from drug-r
