Abstract Variants in the precore (G(1896)A) and core promoter (A(1762)T, G(1764)A) regions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be related to serum HBV DNA levels and severity of liver disease. The aims of this nationwide study were to determine the prevalence of HBV precore/core promoter variants in the United States and the association between these variants and patient demographics, HBV genotypes, serum HBV DNA level, and severity of liver disease. A total of 694 consecutive chronic HBV-infected patients seen in 17 U.S. liver centers during a 1-year period were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Sera were tested for HBV genotypes as well as precore and core promoter variants by line-probe assays. Quantitative HBV DNA levels were determined using Cobas Amplicor HBV Monitor kits. Precore and core promoter variants were found in 27% and 44% of patients with chronic HBV infection in the United States. Precore and core promoter variants were more common in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative than in HBeAg-positive patients (precore, 38% vs. 9%; core promoter, 51% vs. 36%; respectively, P <.001). The prevalence of these variants was related to ethnicity, place of birth, and HBV genotypes. Patients with core promoter variants were more likely to have hepatic decompensation. Precore and/or core promoter variants were associated with higher serum HBV DNA levels in HBeAg-negative but not in HBeAg-positive patients. In conclusion, HBV precore and core promoter variants are not rare in the United States. Physicians should be aware of the existence of HBV precore and core promoter variants and the clinical condition of ""HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis.

Mutation Information
Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
  • Clinical Information: The study is a clinical or epidemiological study and provides basic information about the population.
  • Treatment: The study mentioned a certain treatment method, such as drug resistance caused by mutations. If the study does not specifically indicate the relationship between mutations and their correspondence treatment, the main treatment studied in the article is marked.
  • Location: The source of the research data.
