Compensatory variances of drug-induced hepatitis B virus YMDD mutations
Although the drug-induced mutations of HBV have been ever documented, the evolutionary mechanism is still obscure. To deeply reveal molecular characters of HBV evolution under the special condition, here we made a comprehensive investigation of the molecular variation of the 3432 wild-type sequences and 439 YMDD variants from HBV genotype A, B, C and D, and evaluated the co-variant patterns and...
متن کاملYMDD and FLLAQ Mutations in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients
Abstract Background and Objective: Lamivudine is the first orally available drug approved for treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Mutations at the YMDD and FLLAQ motifs in the domains of HBV polymerase gene contribute resistance to lamivudine. This study was aimed to determine the rate of YMDD and FLLAQ mutants in hepatitis B patients in Golestan Province, Iran. Material and methods: In this cros...
متن کاملFrequency of YMDD mutations in patients with chronic hepatitis B untreated with antiviral medicines
Abstract Background: Investigators were suspicious of tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) mutations occurred only in patients who were treated by lamivudine. However, YMDD mutations of hepatitis B virus gene (HBV DNA) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) untreated with antiviral medicines was reported in some studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate YMDD mutations in Ira...
متن کاملHepatitis B Virus Carrying Drug - resistance Compensatory Mutations in Chronically Infected Treatment - naive Patients
Objective: The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly variable throughout the world. Geographical regions are classified according to the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen in the general population as high (>8%), moderate (2-7%), and low endemicity (<2%). Turkey has a moderate endemicity level of HBV infection which is a serious health problem. Currently, there are various nucl...
متن کاملYMDD mutations and genotypes of hepatitis B virus in northern China.
The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between YMDD mutations and the genotypes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during lamivudine treatment. HBV genotypes were determined by nested PCR with 6 pairs of HBV genotype-specific primers (A to F) in serum specimens from 142 hepatitis B patients receiving lamivudine antiviral therapy. YMDD mutations were detected by fluorescent hyb...
