Abstract BACKGROUND: Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) is effective for treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but long-time ADV therapy leads to drug resistance because of HBV reverse transcriptase mutations. We developed a sensitive and specific method for detecting the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations associated with ADV resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients, based on a ligase detection reaction (LDR). METHODS: HBV templates were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by LDR and electrophoresis on a sequencer. The assay was evaluated using 165 serum samples, and plasmid controls. RESULTS: In a mixture of wild-type and mutant plasmids, the assay could detect mutant plasmid at 1%. Complete concordance between the PCR-LDR assay and sequencing analysis was observed for 141 of 148 samples (95.3%) at codon 181, and 143 of 148 samples (96.6%) at codon 236. Discordant results were confirmed to be consistent with the PCR-LDR assay by subclone sequencing. Seventeen samples could not be detected by both of the methods due to low HBV DNA levels. CONCLUSIONS: The PCR-LDR assay can sensitively and specifically detect the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations, and may be used for monitoring ADV resistance in patients infected with HBV.

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
