Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections caused by precore (PC) or basal core promoter (BCP) mutations are associated with disease progression and complications. PC or BCP mutations may enhance the replication capacity of distinct drug-resistance-associated polymerase mutations, but their effect on adefovir-resistant HBV mutants is unclear. Importantly, BCP mutations were an...
