Abstract BACKGROUND: Vaccine escape mutants (VEMs) are one of the causes of breakthrough infections in the mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). We hypothesized that VEMs existing as minor populations in the maternal blood are associated with breakthrough infections in children. We sought to determine whether VEMs exist as minor populations in the preserved umbilical cords of children with breakthrough infections. CASE PRESENTATION: Two families (Family 1: three children, Family 2: two children) were enrolled. Despite immunoprophylaxis, a breakthrough infection occurred in two Family 1 children and two Family 2 children. Preserved umbilical cords, serum, and nails were used for the HBV DNA analysis. To detect VEMs, we performed direct and deep sequencing of hepatitis B surface antigen gene. The direct sequencing showed that there were no VEMs in the serum of the children or mother of Family 1 and family 2, but it identified a G145A mutant in the nails of the mother of Family 2. In Family 1, deep sequencing detected a T143S mutant as a minor population (1.7-2.0%) in the umbilical cords and serum of all three children and in the serum of the mother. A T126A mutant was also detected in the umbilical cord (9.2%) and serum (7.0%) of the first-born child of Family 1. In Family 2, the deep sequencing showed no VEMs in the umbilical cords, but it detected D144A (2.5%) and G145A (11.2%) mutants in the serum of the 2nd-born child. CONCLUSIONS: VEMs were present as minor populations in the preserved umbilical cords of children with breakthrough infections. The VEMs did not become major populations after the breakthrough infections. The evolution of VEMs from a minor form to a major form might not be a prerequisite for breakthrough infections in mother-to-child transmission.

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.
