Abstract excerpt
As a consequence of the point mutation in the YMDD motif of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase gene, lamivudine-resistant mutants have been reported in chronic hepatitis B patients who underwent lamivudine therapy. The objective of the study was to develop a novel accurate artificially created restriction site (ACRS) method with a digestion internal control for identification of YMDD, YIDD and YVDD HBV...
