The precore/core promoter mutant (T1762A1764) of hepatitis B virus: clinical significance and an easy method for detection
1 Dec 1995

Recently, a new hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutant with HBe antigen-negative phenotype has been characterized, in which one TATA box-like motif of the precore/core promoter had degenerated: most frequently by both A-->T and G-->A mutations at positions 1762 and 1764, respectively.
