Abstract excerpt

HBV infection is a significant public health problem in Pakistan. However, little is known about HBV genetic heterogeneity in the country. Here, we study inter- and intra-host heterogeneity of the HBV S gene. HBV S gene was sequenced using Sanger and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies from patients (n = 155) in two provinces. HBV genotype D (HBV/D) was found prevalent (98.7%). Phylogenetic analysis of...
