Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection highly increases the risk for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The clinical manifestation of HBV infection is determined by the mutual interplay of the viral genotype, host genetic factors, mode of transmission, adaptive mutations, and environmental factors. Core promoter activation plays a critical role in the pre-genomic RNA transcription of HBV for HBV...
