Abstract OBJECTIVES: To provide intra-familial evidence on the horizontal transmission of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) mutant G145R. METHODS: Serum samples from family members of 10 vaccinated infants who carried this G145R mutant were collected. The presence of the mutant was analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing. RESULTS: The G145R mutant was identified in family members of three of the 10 infants. In family 1, the mutant found initially in child 1 was identified in another child and the father. In families 2 and 3, the G145R mutant detected previously in child 1 was detected in the father. Additional mutations in HBsAg were identified in at least two members in family 1 and 2, suggesting horizontal transmission of the mutant among them. The G145R mutant was found in samples with high levels of neutralizing antibody against HBV (anti-HBs). In addition, liver damage was seen in one G145R carrier infant. CONCLUSIONS: The G145R mutant could be transmitted horizontally among family members, and this could occur in the presence of high levels of anti-HBs. Improvement of detection system for the G145R and other HBsAg mutant will be needed for their effective control.

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.
