Abstract excerpt

We studied a familial cluster of adult HBV chronic carriers characterized by serological markers of active viral replication, normal or slightly elevated ALT levels and, in four out of five cases, absence of anti-HBc reactivity. The nucleotide sequence of the pre-C/C region of HBV was analyzed in three patients, showing the presence of wild-type HBV sequences accompanied by different deleted molecules. Some of...
