Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To investigate the different clusters of mutations associated with lamivudine resistance in HBV genotypes D and A. METHODS: HBV reverse transcriptase sequences of 89 HBV-infected patients failing lamivudine treatment were analyzed. The association of mutations with HBV genotypes was assessed by Chi-Squared test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Covariate analysis was based on...
