Recombinant HBsAg of the Wild-Type and the G145R Escape Mutant, included in the New Multivalent Vaccine against Hepatitis B Virus, Dramatically Differ in their Effects on Leukocytes from Healthy Donors In Vitro.
Introduction: Across different genotypes, the most frequent substitutions were I/T126S (1.8%), G145R (1.2%), M133T (1.2%), Q129R (1.0%), I/T126A (0.8%), and P120T (0.8%).
Introduction: These major mutations were more common in genotypes A (P120T, 3.2%), B (I/T126A, 2.8%; Q129R, 2.2%), C (I/T 126S, 3.9%; M133T, 1.9%), and G (G145R, 5.0%).
Detection of Q129H Immune Escape Mutation in Apparently Healthy Hepatitis B Virus Carriers in Southwestern Nigeria.
Introduction: In the following years, other mutations observed on the a-determinant, which are considered as immune escape variants, including T116N, P120S/E, I/T126A/N/I/S, Q129H/R, M133L, K141E, P142S, and D144A/E, have also been reported.
Characterization of Antigen Escape Mutations in Chronic HBV-Infected Patients in Upper Egypt.
8Discussion: Several other studies reported other substitutions in the ""a"" determinant region and associated with vaccine escape, such as T116N, P120S/E, I/T126A/N/I/S, Q129H/R, M133L, K141E, and D144A/E."
Prevalence of Potential Resistance Related Variants Among Chinese Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Not Receiving Nucleos(T)ide Analogues.
5Result: In the present study, the rt134 and rt153 variants led to the concomitant occurrence of ""a"" determinant mutations, including sT126A (n=5), sT126S (n=2), sT126N (n=1), and sG145R (n=1)."

Abstract: In particular, these mutations were sQ101H/K/R, sS114A/L/T, sT118A/K/M/R/S/V, sP120A/L/Q/S/T, sT/I126A/N/P/S, sM133I/L/T, sC137W/Y, sG145A/R, and sA159G/V.
Result: In particular, mutations were detected in 67/63
Comprehensive Analysis of Clinically Significant Hepatitis B Virus Mutations in Relation to Genotype, Subgenotype and Geographic Region.
Result: The most common substitutions were I/T126S (1.8%), G145R (1.2%), M133T (1.2%), Q129R (1.0%), I/T126A (0.8%), and P120T (0.8%).
Result: These major mutations were more frequent in genotypes A (P120T, 3.2%), B (I/T126A, 2.8%; Q129R, 2.2%), C (I/T126S, 3.9%; M133T, 1.9%), and G (G145R, 5.0%).
Nearly half of Ultrio plus NAT non-discriminated reactive blood donors were identified as occult HBV infection in South China.
Result: Previously reported HBV vaccine escape variants carrying point nucleotide mutations in the MHR (aa 124-147) of genotype B were also identified including T116 N (4.3%), P120S (4.3%), T126A (8.7%), Q129R/H (17.3%), D144A/E (8.7%) and G145A/R (21.7%).
Discussion: Although previous studies have already confirmed that the mutations in MHR, especially in the 'a' determinant influenced the virus antigenicity and were significantly associated with vaccine escape, we observed that the vaccine escaped mutations occurred frequently in the 'a' determinant (T116 N (4.3%), P120S (4.3%), T126A (8.7
Deep sequencing of hepatitis B surface antigen gene in the preserved umbilical cords in immunoprophylaxis failure against mother-to-child HBV transmission.
2Conclusion: Of the 11 variants, T126A and T143S were located in the ""a"" determinant region."
Abstract: A T126A mutant was also detected in the umbilical cord (9.2%) and serum (7.0%) of the first-born child of Family 1.
Conclusion: T126A and T143S have been reported as VEMs.
Conclusion: T126A was detected in the umbilical cord (9.2%) and serum (7.0%) of the 1st-born child, and T143S was detected in all three umbilical cords (1st-born: 1.7%, 2nd-born: 1.7%, 3rd-born: 1.8%) and in three serum samples (mother: 2.0%, 1st-born: 2.0% 2nd-born: 2.0%).
Conclusion: T126A was detected in the umbilical cord and serum of this 1st-born child.

Hepatitis B infection among HIV infected individuals in Gabon: Occult hepatitis B enhances HBV DNA prevalence.
Method: In addition, we looked for Vaccine Escape Mutants (VEMs) and polymorphic mutations outside (Y100C, Q101H, S117N, T118R and P120S) and within the HBsAg immuno-dominant 'a' determinant (I/T126A/N, A128V, Q129H/R, G130N, M133L/T, K141E, S143L, D144A/H/E and G145R).

Abstract: In our data, the substitution rate of amino acid located at a determinant is relatively low (< 10%), I/T126A, C124S, F134Y, K141Q, Q129H, D144A, G145V, and N146K, which showed no statistical difference to their mothers, proving that these vaccine escape mutants preexist maternally as minor variants.
