Abstract: We also found that there are a total of 19 signature single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), of which 2 and 17 nonsynonymous mutation types were specific to
rt269L and
rt269I, respectively: Of these, most are
HBeAg negative infections (
preC-
W28*,
X-V5M and
V131I), lowered HBV DNA or virion production (
C-
I97F/L,
rtM204I/V) or preexisting nucleot(s)ide analog resistance (NAr) (
rtN139K/H,
rtM204I/V and
