Abstract: Furthermore, reactivated HBV in 11 of 16 (69%) non-
HSCT cases possessed substitutions associated with impaired virion secretion, including
E2G,
L77R,
L98V,
T118K, and
Q129H in the
S region, and
M1I/V in the
PreS2 region.
Result: Indeed, ultra-deep sequencing analysis showed that almost all the reactivated viral clones in four cases in the non-
HSCT group were variants with the
M1I/V substitution at the
PreS2 start codon (frequency of 99.7% to 99.9% for total viral population), suggesti
