Introduction: (2017) described more concretely about point-mutations (N38E 71.9%, N38K 71.1%, A60V/E 100% on the PreS1 region, L126T/S 77% on the PreS2 and N3S 27.4% on the S region).
Discussion: (2017) (N38E 71.9%, N38K 71.1%, A60V/E 100% on the PreS1 region, L126T/S 77% on the PreS2 and N3S 27.4% on the S region), from Kim et al.

Abstract: Clinically significant mutations, such as preS1 C2964A, reverse transcriptase domain I91L, and small HBsAg N3S, were identified.
Result: Small HBsAg showed the following mutations: N3S, V18G, E44G, M47T, S53L, V159A, A177V, S210N, and I213L; none of these are associated with HBsAg escape, though the N3S mutant is associated with an increased risk of
Molecular characterization of hepatitis B virus in Vietnam.
4Method: The S gene sequence was analyzed for mutations in the ""a"" determinant region (T116 N, P120S/T, I/T126S/A, Q129H/R, M133 L/T, K141E, P142S, D144E, and G145R), and other virulence associated mutations (N3S, V184A, and S204R)."
Result: N3S mutation was significantly higher in genotype C isolates (p < 0.001) isolates (Table 2).
