Abstract
|
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the S gene (HBsAg), pre-core (PC), and basic core promoter (BCP) of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are correlated with disease progression. This study assessed the frequency of mutations in the S gene, PC, and BCP regions in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. METHODS: 104 formerly known CHB patients who visited Tehran Hepatitis centers, were included. The viral load of samples was determined based on the TaqMan method. Regions of the S gene, PC and BCP were amplified by the nested PCR. Positive PCR products were sequenced and analyzed. RESULTS: 33 successfully sequenced S gene region revealed all the derived strains were genotype D, with the majority (90.9%) belonging to the ayw2 subtype, and the rest (9.1%) to the ayw1 subtype. The prevalence of mutations was found to be 51.0% and 18.0% in the HBsAg and the Major Hydrophilic Region, respectively. 70.0% of amino acid changes within HBsAg occurred in different immune epitopes, of which 27.0% and 72.0% were located in B cell and Th epitopes, respectively. 26 successfully sequenced PC and BCP regions showed at least one mutation in 84.6% of the HBV strains. The PC and BCP mutations were G1896A (61.0%), G1899A (23.0%), A1762T/G1764A (23.0%) and G1764T/C1766G (26.0%). None of the strains with A1762T/G1764A mutation carried the G1764T/C1766G mutant. CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed common mutations within HBsAg, occurring in immune epitopes, a high rate of G1896A mutations in the PC region, and a negative correlation between the emergence of A1762T/G1764A mutation and the G1764T/C1766G mutant in the BCP region.
