Mutation Site Sentence With regard to this case, the same results were observed by INNO-LiPA HBV DR v3 and direct sequencing, but by direct sequencing we detected an extra mutation rtQ215S that was present in two patients: one patient who was on treatment with LAM had an rtQ215S mutation in addition to an rtM204I, and the second patient treated with ADV had rtA181V.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to evaluate therapy with lamivudine (LAM) and adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) monotherapy in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients with frequent measurements of DNA levels, to characterize HBV genotypes, and to determine the emergence of nucleos(t)ide analogue mutants before and during the therapy by direct-sequencing the reverse transcriptase region and by INNO-LiPA HBV DR v3. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 15 chronic HBV patients were analysed: 11 were treated with ADV and four were treated with LAM. RESULTS: Viral genotype was determined, showing the presence of genotype D (73%) in 11 patients and genotype A (27%) in four patients. In the viral response to treatment, three patients developed substitutions at rtM204I associated with LAM resistance and one of these patients presented rtM204V/I plus rtL180M mutation. In contrast, of the 11 patients treated with ADV, three patients developed mutations (rtN236T; rtA181V; rtA181V plus rtN236T). With regard to this case, the same results were observed by INNO-LiPA HBV DR v3 and direct sequencing, but by direct sequencing we detected an extra mutation rtQ215S that was present in two patients: one patient who was on treatment with LAM had an rtQ215S mutation in addition to an rtM204I, and the second patient treated with ADV had rtA181V. CONCLUSION: Direct sequence analysis is an essential tool to optimize therapeutic management of HBV chronic infection in clinical practice to choose the appropriate nucleos(t)ide analogues and to detect extra mutations that are not included in the commercial kit.

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.
