Result: Because this study aimed to investigate the effect of RT mutations on HCC, we then selected 11 mutations (A799G, T843C, T870C, T895A, T906R, C936T, A942S, A987G, T1055A, T1069A, and T1071C) that did not affect HBsAg function as candidates for further validation assays.
Result: Except for T906R and A942S, all of the mutations occurred with a higher frequency in the
