Abstract excerpt
Background and Aims: The drug resistance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) originates from mutations within HBV reverse transcriptase (RT) region during the prolonged antiviral therapy. So far, the characteristics of how these mutations distribute and evolve in the process of therapy have not been clarified yet. Thus we aimed to investigate these characteristics and discuss their contributing factors. Methods: HBV RT...
