Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion is an important clinical and virological "landmark" during chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Mutant viruses carrying the precore G1896A and/or the basal core promoter (BCP) A1762T/G1764A mutations are associated with HBeAg seroconversion.
