Abstract BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Mutations within the major hydrophilic region (MHR) of the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) have been reported in relation to viral persistence by evasion from vaccine and immunotherapy, severity of liver disease and lack of detection by commercial kits. The aim of this study was to elucidate the circulation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes, subgenotypes and serotypes in Egypt, with recognition of the pattern and prevalence of MHR mutations possibly occurring during the course of the disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighty-eight samples from patients with chronic HBV infection were included in the study. The surface protein-encoding gene (S gene) in the HBV genome was subjected to amplification and partial sequencing. RESULTS: Based on phylogenetic analysis, only genotype D was found circulating among patients. The majority of isolates belonged to subgenotype D3 (86.3%), followed by D7 (8%), then D5 (3.4%) and lastly D1 (2.3%). Two subtypes were identified: ayw2 (97%) and ayw3 (2%). The 'w' sub-determinant was not defined in one isolate (1%). A significant proportion of patients (13/88, 14.8%) exhibited mutations in the MHR, 10 of whom harboured mutations in the 'a' determinant region and three outside. The first loop comprised four patients with three mutations (P127S, P127T and Y134F). The second loop contained six patients, all with one mutation, S143L, which was most frequently encountered in this study (6.8%). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that genotype D, subgenotype D3 and HBsAg subtype ayw2 are the most common types circulating in Egypt, which account for 100%, 86.3% and 97% of the population, respectively, with a moderate degree of MHR mutations.

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
