Abstract excerpt

Genotypes A, D, and E of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) circulate in southern Africa, with genotype A predominating. Their hepatocarcinogenic potential in Bantu-speaking sub-saharan Africans is, however, unknown. Using a case/control format, we investigated the hepatocarcinogenic potential of these genotypes and subgenotype A1 of genotype A, which accounts for the great majority of genotype A isolates. HBV isolates...
