Abstract AIMS: To detect HBV rtM204V/I lamivudine-resistant strains in serum of patients with acute hepatitis B and to assess their biological and clinical significance. METHODS: Eighty HBV DNA-positive patients with symptomatic acute hepatitis B observed from 1999 to 2010 were enrolled. A plasma sample obtained at the first observation was tested for HBV mutants in the polymerase region by direct sequencing; the antiviral drug-resistant rtM204V/I mutations, the most frequent HBV mutants in Italy, were also sought by the more sensitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: No HBV mutation associated with resistance to nucleos(t)ide analogues was identified by direct sequencing, whereas allele-specific PCR identified HBV strains carrying the substitution rtM204V/I in 11 (13.7%) patients. Compared with those with the HBV wild strain, patients with rtM204V/I more frequently showed severe acute hepatitis B (36.4% vs 8.7%; p < 0.05) and lower values of serum HBV DNA (1.77 x 10(6) +/- 4.76 x 10(6) vs. 1.68 x 10(8) +/- 5.46 x 10(8)). In addition, a multivariate analysis identified the presence of a pre-existing HCV chronic infection as independently associated with severe acute hepatitis B (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: HBV rtM204V/I lamivudine-resistant strains were detected in serum of 11 (13.7%) patients with acute hepatitis B by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. The frequent association of rtM204V/I with a more severe acute hepatitis B and with a lower viral load may suggest that greater and/or more prolonged immune pressure might have induced their selection.

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
