Abstract: Other HBV precore region mutations that were detected include: G1899A, T1846A, G1862C, G1888A, T1821C, C1826T, A1827C, A1850T, C1858T, precore start codon Kozak sequence mutations and some novel core region mutations such as G/A1951T and G1957A.
Differential regulation of hepatitis B virus core protein expression and genome replication by a small upstream open reading frame and naturally occurring mutations in the precore region.
