Abstract excerpt
Treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with lamivudine-monotherapy rapidly selects mutant variants in a high proportion of individuals. Monitoring lamivudine resistance by consensus sequencing is costly and insensitive for detection of minority variants. An oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) for HBV lamivudine-resistance was developed and compared to consensus sequencing. Both assays detected...
