Abstract: The most common point-mutations included N/H51Y/T/S/Q/P (30.4%), V68T/S/I (44.9%), T/N87S/T/P (46.2%) on PreS1 gene; T125S/N/P (30.8%), I150T (42.5%) on PreS2 gene; S53L (37.7%), A184V/G (39.3%), S210K/N/R/S (39.3%) on S gene.
Result: The point-mutations on the S gene that owned the rates of >30% of the population were: S53L (37.7%), A184V/G (39.3%), and PMID: 31952213

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 HCC.
