Familial clustering of HBV pre-C and pre-S mutants.

Journal of hepatology - 1 Feb 1997

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Little is known about the persistence and risk of infection with hepatitis B viruses (HBV) containing mutations in the pre-C and pre-S region. The aim of this study was to study the long-term persistence and the risk of intrafamilial spreading of these variants. METHODS: Serological markers were analyzed immunologically and pre-C and pre-S sequences of HBV DNA in sera from several members of five...
