A novel B/C inter-genotype recombinant of hepatitis B virus identified in north-west China.

چکیده
The characteristics of life-long persistent infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the prevalence of different genotypes of HBV in China may cause new recombinants. In north-west China, HBV inter-genotype recombinants have been reported frequently over the last decade. Here, we report a B/C inter-genotype recombinant HBV with a novel genome mosaic structure from Lanzhou, a city in north-west China.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes and subgenotypes may vary in geographical distribution and virological features. Previous investigations, including ours, showed that HBV genotypes B and C were respectively predominant in South and North China, while genotypes A and D were infrequently detected and genotype G was not found. In this study, a novel A/C/G intergenotype was identified in patients ...

متن کاملCharacterization of Novel Hepatitis B Virus B/C Intergenotypic Recombinants in 3′-terminal Reverse Transcriptase Sequences among Chronic Hepatitis B Patients
Background. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a severe global public health concern. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be divided into 8 genotypes with different geographical distribution and virological features. We demonstrated genotypes B and C prevalent in southern and northern China, respectively, had divergent genotype-dependent amino acid polymorphisms and variations in reverse transcriptase (...
