Abstract Lamivudine and adefovir have potent inhibitory effects on hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. Although short-term therapy is feasible in a selected subgroup of patients, prolonged therapy is required for sustained suppression in the majority of patients. However, HBV species with mutations in the tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) locus of the HBV RNA-dependent DNA polymerase (rtM204 I/V) conferring resistance to lamivudine may emerge after 9-10 months therapy. The incidence increases with duration of therapy up to 70% after 5 years lamivudine therapy. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation and HBV DNA rebound ( I log) occur in >90% of the patients with rtM204 I/V during continued lamivudine therapy. Marked flare of serum ALT may occur, sometimes severe, and may be complicated with decompensation or even fatality. The initial clinical and histologic improvement may also reverse after emergence of rtM204 IN Studies do suggest that stopping seems better than continuing lamivudine therapy. Limited data show that interferon therapy seems ineffective. Add-on adefovir therapy is effective in suppressing rtM204 I/V in both compensated and decompensated patients. Switching to adefovir monotherapy is effective and safe even in cirrhotic patients with decompensation. The overall incidence of adefovirresistant rtN236T and A181V is low, being 0 after one year and 5.9% after 3 years' therapy. The impact of adefovir resistance is less clear but is responsive to lamivudine therapy. In conclusion, monitoring of viral breakthrough to start effective intervention is mandatory during direct antiviral 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.
