Abstract Lamivudine is effective in suppressing viral replication, normalizing alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and improving histological appearance in HBe positive and negative hepatitis. It is unclear whether hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype influences the response to lamivudine. We report the long-term response of patients with chronic hepatitis B with and without cirrhosis at baseline treated with lamivudine according to HBV genotype. Retrospective review of charts of all patients treated with lamivudine monotherapy between 1993 and 2002. Response to therapy defined as ALT in the normal range, undetectable HBV DNA, and in the HBeAg positive group loss of HBeAg and/or the development of anti-HBe. HBV DNA measured by the Digene Hybrid capture assay (sensitivity 1.4 x 10(6) copies/mL). YMDD mutation at rtL180M and rtM204V/I measured by restriction digest of amplified products. Genotyping performed by sequencing and phylogenetic tree analysis of the preS region of the virus genome. Seventy-one patients treated with lamivudine for 6 months or more, 53 (75%) were male, average age 47 years, 38 (54%) were HBeAg+ and 33 (46%) HBeAg-. Mean baseline HBV DNA viral titre was 1280.2 copies/mL and 518 copies/mL respectively. Cirrhosis was present in 30 (42%). Sera were examined for YMDD mutations at last patient visit in 61 (86%), and were detected in 45 (74%), there being no association with a particular genotype. Data from up to 5 years on lamivudine indicated no difference in biochemical or virological response between genotypes. Cirrhosis was more prevalent with specific genotypes. We found no influence of HBV genotype on the development of resistance to lamivudine, however liver disease severity was influenced by genotype.

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.
