Abstract excerpt
Inevitable long-term therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogs in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has selected reverse-transcriptase (rt) mutants in a substantial proportion of patients. Some of these mutants introduce premature stop codons in the overlapping surface (s) gene, including rtA181T/sW172*, which has been shown to enhance oncogenicity. The oncogenicity of another drug-resistant...
