Molecular characterization of hepatitis B virus isolated from Black South African cancer patients, with and without hepatocellular carcinoma.

Archives of virology - 1 Aug 2020

Mak Daniel, Kramvis Anna

Abstract excerpt

In South Africa (SA), hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is strongly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As HBV genotypes/subgenotypes and mutations can influence disease manifestation and progression, our aim was to molecularly characterize HBV in Black cancer patients, with and without HCC. The basal core promoter/precore (BCP/PC) and complete surface (S) regions of HBV isolates were amplified and...
