Abstract
|
Vietnam is one of the countries with a high rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but there are only a few reports about relation of HBV genotypes and mutations to clinical course in Northern Vietnam. The characteristics of HBV and its relationship to clinical outcome in patients from Northern Vietnam were analyzed. Serum samples were collected from 183 HBV-infected Vietnamese patients. They were clinically categorized into 4 groups: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), liver cirrhosis (LC), chronic hepatitis (CH), and asymptomatic carriers (ASC). HBV serology, alpha-fetoprotein, HBV genotypes, HBV-DNA level and mutations in the core promoter and pre-core regions of HBV-DNA were examined. The majority of sera contained HBV genotype B (67.8%) and C (27.9%). The median age was matched between genotype B and C (38.2 vs. 42.9 years). The rates of HBeAg seroconversion and G1896A for genotype B were significantly higher than those for genotype C (P<0.05). Genotype C had a higher HBV-DNA level than genotype B. C1858 was frequent, especially in genotype C (62.7%). The most prevalent genotype in ASC and CH was genotype B. The presence of the mutation A1762T/G1764A correlated with disease progression. The triple mutation T1753C/A1762T/ G1764A was quite common and was more prevalent in LC and HCC than in CH and ASC. In Northern Vietnamese, HBV genotypes B and C were prevalent. Genotype C and mutations in the core promoter region were associated with progressive, severe liver diseases.
