Rapid detection of genotypes and mutations in the pre-core promoter and the pre-core region of hepatitis B virus genome: correlation with viral persistence and disease severity.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: We aimed to clarify the clinical relevance of hepatitis B virus pre-core mutant detection in patients with chronic hepatitis B using a newly developed assay. METHODS: Viral genotypes and pre-core mutations were studied in relation to viral persistence and liver disease severity u...
