Comprehensive Analysis of Clinically Significant Hepatitis B Virus Mutations in Relation to Genotype, Subgenotype and Geographic Region
14 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a highly variable DNA virus due to its unique life cycle, which involves an error-prone reverse transcriptase. The high substitution rate drives the evolution of HBV by generating genetic variants upon which selection operates. HBV mutants with clinical implications have been documented worldwide, indicating the potential for spreading and developing their own epidemiology. However, the...
