Abstract OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical features of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) mutation after lamivudine therapy. METHODS: This investigation was a retrospective study of 63 CHB patients with YMDD mutation during lamivudine therapy. Clinical data, including period and types of YMDD mutation; hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels before and after YMDD mutation were measured. YMDD mutation in the HBV DNA polymerase gene was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. HBV DNA quantification was determined using real-time PCR. Relevant serum markers of HBV were measured. The follow-up period was 12 months after YMDD mutation. RESULTS: YMDD mutation occurred 7-44 months (median, 21.5 months) after the start of lamivudine therapy. The majority of the cases (42/63, 66.6%) had YMDD mutants detected between 12 and 24 months. Four types of YMDD mutation were observed in this study, rtL180M/M204V mutation was the predominant type (26/63, 41.3%). A proportion of patients (16/63, 25.4%; 12/63, 19.1%) had higher HBV DNA levels and ALT levels (after mutation vs before mutation), respectively. CONCLUSION: The majority of patients with YMDD mutants had similar or lower HBV DNA levels and ALT levels compared with baseline values. This subset of patients might have benefited from the continued lamivudine therapy. The patients with increased ALT and HBV DNA levels (breakthrough hepatitis) should benefit from the addition of a newer nucleotide analogue (e.g. adefovir).

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.
