Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes may influence HBeAg seroconversion rates, mutational patterns in the precore (PC) and core promoter (CP) regions, severity of liver disease, and response to antiviral treatment. Development of rapid, simple, and standardized assays to detect viral genotypes and common mutations in the PC and CP regions can accelerate research on the clinical significance of these variants. We aim...
