Abstract: We developed a novel real-time PCR assay that simultaneously evaluates 11 major nucleos(t)ide antiviral (NA) drug resistance mutations (mt) in
chronic hepatitis B patients (
CHB), including
L180M,
M204I/V, and
V207M (lamivudine [LMV] resistance),
N/H238A/T (adefovir [ADF] resistance), which are circulating in Vietnam; and
T184G/L,
S202I, and
M250V (entecavir [ETV] resistance) and
A194T (tenofovir resistance), which have been recently reported in several studies across the globe.
