Abstract excerpt
(1) Background: The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is characterized by extensive genetic diversity, including low-frequency variants that contribute to disease progression. We aimed to characterize low-frequency variants and evaluate their potential clinical impact. (2) Methods: We utilized 104 HBV near-full-length sequences generated using next-generation sequencing (NGS) from people living with HIV (PLHIV). We used an...
