Significance of mutations in hepatitis B virus X gene for the pathogenesis of HB-associated glomerulonephritis.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, the significance of hepatitis virus (HBV) X gene mutations for the pathogenesis of HBV-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN) was investigated. DNA was extracted from 50 HBV-GN patients and 60 asymptomatic HBV carriers and subjected to PCR amplification and sequencing of HBV X gene. In HBV-GN patients, missense nucleotide mutations of C1653T, A1726C, A1727T, C1730G, T1753C, A1762T, and G1764A were...
