Abstract OBJECTIVE: In order to understand the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore mutants isolated from asymtomatic carriers in Guangxi. METHODS: Nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) was used for amplification of HBV DNA precore in 77 carrier sera, followed by HBV DNA nPCR products sequencing using direct sequencing. RESULTS: 50.7% of 77 carriers was positive for HBV DNA with a prevalence of mutants 22.1% (17/77). HBV DNA positive rate in the southern part of the autonomous region was 55.6% (20/36). Six of them were mutants, counting for 30%. The common mutation in the southern part was seen T-->C at nt1858 while nt1896 stop mutation was discovered in one sample only, which was accompanied by point mutation at nt1837 (A-->G). HBV DNA positive rate in the northern part was 46.3% (19/41) with 11 of them were mutants, counting for 57.9%. The common mutation in that area stopped at nt1896. Among samples with stopped mutation, 4 samples had mutation at nt1846 (A-->T), 2 samples at nt1862 (G-->T). Both mutation at nt1856 (C-->T) and nt1858 (T-->C) could be seen in sample 734. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of HBV precore mutant in asymptomatic carriers in Guangxi was at the average level in China. Further study is needed to determine the difference between the southern and the northern part of the region in the common type of mutation exists.

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.
