clinical significance of precore and core promoter mutations in genotype d hepatitis b-related chronic liver disease

چکیده
background: hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is the most common cause of end-stage liver disease in iran. more than 70% of cases are negative for the hepatitis b e antigen (hbeag) and have a long-term response to antiviral therapy, as well as a high relapse rate after discontinuing lamivudine or interferon. these features could be due, in part, to genetic variation of the hbv genome. materials and methods: hbv-dna from serum of 110 patients with chronic hepatitis b, some of whom were complicated by cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) was sequenced for basal core promoter and precore region. twenty four of 110 patients were performed for full genomic analysis. results: in the first part of study all twenty four strains were classified into subgenotype d1, with 99% bootstrap values. in second part of study we showed that the hbeag negative patients had a higher frequency of mutations at core promoter regions than hbeag-positive patients (76.8% vs 26.6%). the frequencies of a1762t and g1764a mutations increased while the frequency of g1757a decreased with advance clinical stage of liver disease (p‹0.001). the double core promoter mutations t1762 /a1764 associated with g1757 conferred significantly higher and more frequent in patients with cirrhosis and hcc. conclusion: in iran, all patients with chronic hbv, whether hbeag positive or hbeag negative, at the stage of cirrhosis and hcc were genotype d1. high frequency of mutations indicates the relation of antiviral pressure in iranian population. the a1762t /g1764a double mutation of basal core promoter with a1757g polymorphism can major impacts on viral replication and severity of liver disease.

Clinical significance of precore and core promoter mutations in genotype D hepatitis B-related chronic liver disease.
SUMMARY The impact of mutations in the precore and basal core promoter (BCP) regions of the hepatitis B virus on the course of chronic liver disease is not well established. We sought to examine the relationship of these characteristics to the clinical expression of liver disease in patients infected with genotype D chronic hepatitis B (CHB). BCP and precore mutations in 110 patients with genot...

The study was undertaken to investigate the features and clinical implications of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes, basal core promoter (BCP) and precore (PC) mutations in hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HB-ACLF). Samples from 75 patients with HB-ACLF and without pre-existing liver cirrhosis and 328 age-matched patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were analyzed. HBV geno...

Mutations in pre-core and basal-core promoter regions of hepatitis B virus in chronic HBV patients from Golestan, Iran
Objective(s): It has been reported that the mutation of the pre-core (PC) and basal-core promoter (BCP) may play an important role in the development of HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study the PC and BCP mutations were investigated in chronic HBV patients. Materials and Methods:In this study, 120 chronic HBV patients from Golestan, Northeast of Iran who were not vaccinated...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of precore (PC) and core promoter (CP) mutations in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (CHB) and their impact on liver disease is incompletely defined in the United States. METHODS A retrospective chart review using a cross-sectional approach of 1,186 CHB patients was conducted. RESULTS Of 926 patients tested for HBV e antigen (HBeAg), 37% were...
متن کاملPrecore and Core Promoter Mutations of the Hepatitis B Virus Gene in Chronic Genotype C -Infected Children
The precore (G1896A) and core promoter (A1762T, G1764A) mutations of the hepatitis B virus gene are known to be associated with changes in immunologic phase or the progression to complicated liver disease in adults. We analyzed these mutations in chronically HBV-infected children. Serum was collected from 37 children with chronic HBV infection from March 2005 to September 2008. HBV DNA extracti...
