Establishment of reference sequences of hepatitis B virus genotype C subgenotypes.
Hepatitis B virus genotype C (HBV/C) has the largest number of subgenotypes (C1-C16) that vary with geography and isolates. HBV/C prevails in Southeast Asia (C1, C5-C16), East Asia (C2), Oceania (C3), and Australia (C4). Suitable reference strains for different subgenotypes could greatly facilitate research into HBV/C, but unfortunately they are scarce. We retrieved 974 HBV/C full-length sequen...
متن کاملThe Absence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Patients with Hepatitis B virus in Mashhad, Iran
Background and Aims: Many studies have provided evidence for the role of hepatitis B and C viruses in the development of liver cancer. Although the routine treatment is available for both conditions, no definite guideline is available to treat patients dually infected with HBV and HCV. This study was performed to determine the frequency of HBV/HCV-coinfection in Mashhad, North-East of Iran. Mat...
متن کاملUnder construction: classification of hepatitis B virus genotypes and subgenotypes.
(2) Sequencing of only parts of the HBV genomes led to the tentative suggestion of subgenotypes A4 and A5 [20] . In an article in Emerging Infectious Diseases sequencing whole genomes of tentative A4 isolates, Andernach et al. [21] now group this subgenotype into the clade of A5. (3) Based on whole genome sequencing two new subgenotypes have been called C6 in two contemporaneous publications. C...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Genotype D of Hepatitis B Virus in Isfahan, Iran
Background: Approximately 600,000 deaths occur every year as a result of the acute and chronic consequences of hepatitis B virus infection. Ten different hepatitis B virus genotypes have been identified with distinct geographical distributions. Different clinical outcomes, including the rate of mutations, development of hepatocellular carcinoma, chronicity, response to treatment, transplantatio...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus genotype B has an earlier emergence of lamivudine resistance than genotype C.
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype B and C seem not to affect the therapeutic response to lamivudine (3TC). Whether a given genotype has an earlier emergence of 3TC resistance remains unclear. We thus conducted this study to elucidate the association of HBV genotype with the emergence of 3TC-resistant strains in Taiwanese patients. METHODS Forty chronic hepatitis B patients who devel...
