Abstract INTRODUCTION: HBx is a multifunctional modulator viral protein with key roles in various biological processes such as signal transduction, transcription, proliferation, and cell apoptosis. Also, HBx has an important role in the progression of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to determine mutations in X gene, enhancer II (EnhII), and basal core promoter (BCP) of genotype D of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) in cirrhotic and chronic HBV patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed on 68 cases with chronic HBV (cHBV) and 50 cases with HBV related cirrhosis. Serum samples were obtained for genomic DNA extraction. Semi-nested PCR was used to amplify the HBx region. Point mutations in the HBx region were detected by sequencing. RESULT: Novel mutations were detected, including C1491G, C1500T, G1613T, and G1658T in the N-terminal of the X gene. The frequency of C1481T/G1479A, T1498C, C1500T, G1512A, A1635T, C1678T, A1727T, and A1762T/ G1764A/ C1773T was significantly higher in cirrhotic patients compared to chronically HBV infected ones. A higher rate of A1635T, C1678T, A1727T, A1762T, G1764A, and C1773T was observed in cirrhotic patients. CONCLUSION: Our findings showed that the frequency of mutations in the basal-core promoter, enhancer II, and regulatory region of the HBx gene was more seen in cirrhotic patients than in chronic HBV cases. Novel mutations were detected in the HBx gene, causing amino acid substitutions; however, the clinical impact of these novel mutations is yet to be cleared.

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.
