Discussion: found no reactivity of HBsAg using two commercial diagnostic assays whose sequences had simultaneous mutations at various positions, including an amino acid at 100 (Y100S), and this may have been due to mutations at other sites (T118V/R122K/M133I/Y134N/P142S/S143L/G145K).
Genotyping and Mutation Pattern in the Overlapping MHR Region of HBV Isolates in Southern Khorasan, Eastern Iran.
Discussion: Avellon reported M133T (2.2%), Q129H, M133I, F/Y134N (1.8%), F/Y134L, G145A (1.5%), and P120T (1.1%) as the most frequent mutations of S region, while G145R was found at a frequency of less than 1% (0.4%), while among them just Q129H was found in the current study.
YMDD Motif Mutation Profile Among Patients Receiving Liver Transplant Due to Hepatitis B Virus Infection With Long Term Lamivudine/Immunoglobulin Therapy.
Result: The obtained results demonstrated three types of escape mutations (Y134N, I110V, G145R) in four subjects with drug resistance mutations and higher viral load (Table 4) as well.
