Hepatitis B Virus Genetics
New findings from J. Yuan and co-authors describe advances in hepatitis B virus genetics
August 6th, 2007
A new study, "Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes/subgenotypes in China: mutations in core promoter and precore/core and their clinical implications," is now available. According to recent research from Shenzhen, People's Republic of China, "The association of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes with clinical course of infection is increasingly recognized. In order to investigate the genetic diversity of HBV and its clinical implications, 241 HBV-infected patients including 34 with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were enrolled in this study. HBV genotyping was performed with an ELISA assay." "HBV subgenotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP. HBV core promoter/precore/core...
