In the HBV DNA 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 HCV RNA genome, the regions coding for the structural envelope proteins 1 and 2 as well as the 3'-contiguous nonstructural region 1 were found to be hypervariable.
