Discussion: (2017) had stated that P203Q and the combination of P203R and S210R hampered the HBsAg secretion and increased cellular proliferation.
Discussion: The correlation of the C-terminus P203Q (17.4% vs 1.0%, p = 0.004), S210R (34.8% vs 3.8%, p<0.001) and of their combination with HCC had been reported in genotype A and D CHB patients.
Effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface-gene variability on markers of replication during treated human immunodeficiency virus-HBV infection in Western Africa.
Abstract: Furthermore, P203Q and P203Q+S210R increased the percentage of cells in S-phase compared to wt, indicating cell-cycle progression (P203Q:26+-13%; P203Q+S210R:29+-14%; wt:18%+-9, P <0.01.
Abstract: In in-vitro experiments, P203Q, S210R and P203Q+S210R significantly reduced the ratio [secreted/intracellular HBsAg] compared to wt at each time-point analysed (P <0.05), supporting an impaired HBsAg-secretion.
Abstract: RESULTS: Two HBsAg mutations significantly correlated with PMID: 25503289
