Prevalent HBV point mutations and mutation combinations at BCP/preC region and their association with liver disease progression

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mutations in the basic core promoter (BCP) and its adjacent precore (preC) region in HBV genome are common in chronic hepatitis B patients. However, the patterns of mutation combinations in these two regions during chronic infection are less understood. This study focused on single base mutations in BCP and preC region and the multi-mutation patterns observed in chronic HBV infection patients....
