Abstract excerpt

The precore stop-codon variant of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been associated with fulminant hepatitis but is also found in patients with persistent infection and chronic hepatitis. We have examined the possibility that the severe outcome of infection in patients with fulminant disease may be a result of additional genomic variation. We sequenced the entire HBV genome from three patients of Greek and one patient...
