Abstract excerpt

The present study was designed to examine the distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes among patients at various stages of chronic liver disease type B in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, where the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen is the highest in Japan despite the lowest mortality rate from primary liver cancer. Serum samples from 227 HBV carriers were determined for HBV genotype by polymerase chain...
