DNA Methylation of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Genome Associated with the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Occult HBV Infection
23 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified the presence of methylation in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome and have suggested that it may be an important mechanism regulating transcription and replication of the HBV virus. However, it remains unclear whether this phenomenon is associated with occult hepatitis. Here, we performed a detailed analysis of DNA methylation in the HBV genome in liver samples of patients at...
