Abstract BACKGROUND/AIMS: The effects of long-term lamivudine therapy on changes in polymerase and precore/core promoter mutations are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in these regions in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection treated with lamivudine for 5 years. METHODS: Serum samples obtained from 16 patients at the beginning of and during therapy were polymerase chain reaction-amplified, and nucleotide sequences of HBV analyzed. RESULTS: By the end of 5-year therapy, mutations in YMDD motif emerged in ten patients. Mutations in L526M, M550V and M550I in polymerase were found in seven, six and six patients, respectively. The L526M mutant was found at the time or after detection of M550V/I mutant in six of seven patients. At baseline, precore and core promoter mutations were found in eight and 12 of 16 patients, respectively. Mutants of precore and core promoter were replaced by wild-type virus in each of three patients infected with mutants at 1 year. However, at 5 years of treatment, precore and core promoter mutations reappeared in some patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that lamivudine initially selected from precore/core promoter mutants to wild-type virus, but precore mutation reappeared during prolonged therapy.

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.
