Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) with various mutations has been reported. The frequency of the natural occurrence of such variants and whether the heterogeneity of these genomic regions correlates with a specific serologic pattern of concurrent hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) were investigated. We analyzed the perS/S regions of HBV in six asymptomatic HBV carriers who were seropositive for both HBsAg and anti-HBs (group A), four hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with concurrent HBsAg and anti-HBs (group B), and five asymptomatic HBV carriers without anti-HBs as controls (group C). PreS/S regions of HBV-DNA were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloned, and sequenced. The results showed that, in some of the samples, a few deletions and numerous point mutations were presented in preS/S regions. One of the HBV carriers with anti-HBs (group A) and an HCC patient with anti-HBs (group B) had point mutations in the ""a"" determinant, resulting in conversion from Ile-126 of wild-type to Asn-126. The patients with anti-HBs (groups A and B) had a significantly greater divergence rate of amino acid for the preS/S gene compared with controls. Our results suggested that the HBV mutants observed in the preS/S gene may have led to changes in the immunogenicity of the viral particles, and thus influence the viral behavior and clinical course. Therefore, some HBV patients with concurrent HBsAg and anti-HBs may be HBV S mutants.

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.
