Abstract BACKGROUND: Some patients continue to have detectable HBV-DNA levels with liver disease progression after hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) loss. It is important to identify these patients, candidates for long-term treatment. AIMS: To evaluate hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and the main mutations in the basic core promoter (BCP, A1762T/G1764A) and precore (G1896A) sequences as markers of persistent HBV-DNA after HBeAg loss. METHODS: We analysed 60 serum samples from 20 Caucasian, HBeAg-positive, chronic hepatitis B patients, who lost HBeAg and were followed-up longitudinally. HBV genotype and precore and BCP mutations were determined before, at the time of, and after HBeAg loss. RESULTS: After HBeAg loss, eight (40%) patients continued to have undetectable HBV-DNA and 12 (60%) had persistent HBV-DNA (median level 4.7 log(10) copies/mL). The presence of BCP mutations prior to therapy was the only variable associated with persistently detectable viraemia (P = 0.017). Four patients with genotype A and no mutations in the BCP region experienced hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss after a mean period of 35 months from baseline. CONCLUSIONS: Main BCP mutations in HBeAg-positive patients are useful markers to identify patients who will not have sustained virological suppression after HBeAg loss and therapy discontinuation and could benefit from long-term treatment.

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.
