Abstract BACKGROUND/AIMS: The mutations in the basal core promoter and precore region of hepatitis B virus genome in hepatitis B e antigen-positive and -negative chronic hepatitis B patients have been described. The reports about their prevalence and clinical significance in the Mediterranean region where D is the predominant genotype, are very limited. METHODOLOGY: The serum samples were collected from 44 naive chronic hepatitis B patients. For detection of the mutations basal core promoter and precore regions of HBV genome were amplified and sequenced. RESULTS: All samples were determined as genotype D. Before initiation of treatment basal core promoter mutations were found as 55% (11/20) and 46% (11/24) in HBeAg-positive and -negative patients, respectively (p > 0.5). HBeAg-negative samples were associated with precore mutations (G1896A and G1899A). Three of 20 (15%) patients of HBeAg-positive and seven of 24 (29%) of HBeAg-negative populations showed sustained response to therapy at the 24th month of initiation. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of precore stop codon mutant in those with sustained response was 89%, overall at the end of therapy. At initiation of therapy basal core promoter mutations were more common in non-responders than responders (65% vs. 20%; p < 0.001). While 23% of cases totally showing sustained response, absence of mutations in the basal core promoter region of hepatitis B virus genotype D may be related to sustained response in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

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.
