Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects human populations worldwide. HBV strains are classified into 10 genotypes, of which the HBV genotype D (HBV/D) infection is particularly prevalent in several countries. The HBV core promoter regulates viral replication and transcription, and the naturally occurring A1762T/G1764A double mutation (CP1) in the core promoter accelerates HBV replication. Previous clinical studies showed...
