Abstract Genotype C of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been shown to be associated with a poor clinical outcome and less favorable response to interferon (IFN) alpha therapy compared to genotype B. We evaluated the response to IFN alpha therapy and long-term clinical outcome in Japanese patients with chronic active HBV genotype C infection. Thirty Japanese patients with chronic active hepatitis who received natural IFN alpha therapy were followed for 2-12 years (mean 5.9 years). Twenty-four patients were treated short-term (daily for 4 weeks at a mean total dosage of 174 million units) and 6 patients were treated long-term (total of 26 weeks at a mean total dosage of 687 million units). Twelve of 30 (40%) patients had an antiviral response at 6 months after therapy. Clinical data before treatment in both responders and non-responders were comparable. Although not significant, responders tended to have younger age, a higher serum transaminase level, a lower frequency of precore mutation (G1896A) (67% vs. 92%) and a higher frequency of core promoter mutation (A1762T/G1764A) (89% vs. 58%) than non-responders. The patients treated long-term responded significantly better than those treated short-term (83% vs. 29%, P=0.026). Up to 12 years after therapy, a higher percentage of responders than non-responders had sustained clearance of HBeAg with seroconversion and normalization of transaminase concentration at the followed end point (83% vs. 17%, P<0.001). Two non-responder patients had cirrhosis after long-term follow-up. One non-responder patient died of hepatocellular carcinoma 8 years after IFN therapy; except in this patient there was no development of decompensated cirrhosis. Early responsiveness to IFN alpha therapy in Japanese patients with chronic active HBV genotype C infection improves the long-term clinical outcome.

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.
