Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes impact treatment outcomes and disease progression. The current genotyping methods have limitations in patients with low HBV viral load. In this study, a more sensitive assay has been developed for determining the HBV genotype in HBV DNA suppressed patients. Fifty-five serum samples from 55 chronic hepatitis B patients (HBeAg-, n = 20; HBeAg+, n = 35) across genotypes A to H with...
