Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics of mutation in HBV polymerase (P) gene reverse transcriptase region (RT region) in lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. METHODS: This study involved 115 CHB patients who developed clinical resistance to lamivudine. Direct sequencing of the PCR products was used to detect lamivudine genotypic resistance. RESULTS: Lamivudine resistant mutation was...
