Abstract excerpt
Variants of hepatitis B, C, and delta virus have been identified in patients both with acute and chronic infections. In the hepatitis B virus genome, naturally occurring mutations have been found in all viral genes, most notably in the genes coding for the structural envelope and nucleocapsid proteins. In the hepatitis C virus genome, the regions coding for the structural envelope proteins E1 and E2, as well as...
