Subgenotype reclassification of genotype B hepatitis B virus
BACKGROUND Nine subgenotypes from genotype B have been identified for hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, these subgenotypes were less conclusive as they were often designated based on a few representative strains. In addition, subgenotype B6 was designated twice for viruses of different origin. METHODS All complete genome sequences of genotype B HBV were phylogenetically analyzed. Sequence div...
متن کاملFunctional significance of hepatitis B virus subgenotype Cs genomic markers.
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection increases the risk of developing primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); about one million people die from HBV-related diseases annually. Development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic HBV infection is important. In a case-control study to identify markers in the HBV genome that can be associated with HCC development, the compl...
متن کاملSubgenotyping of Genotype C Hepatitis B Virus: Correcting Misclassifications and Identifying a Novel Subgenotype
BACKGROUND More than ten subgenotypes of genotype C Hepatitis B virus (HBV) have been reported, including C1 to C16 and two C/D recombinant subgenotypes (CD1 and CD2), however, inconsistent designations of these subgenotypes still exist. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We performed a phylogenetic analysis of all full-length genotype C HBV genome sequences to correct the misclassifications of H...
متن کاملStronger enhancer II/core promoter activities of hepatitis B virus isolates of B2 subgenotype than those of C2 subgenotype
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype C causes prolonged chronic infection and increased risk for liver cancer than genotype B. Our previous work revealed lower replication capacity of wild-type genotype C2 than B2 isolates. HBV DNA replication is driven by pregenomic RNA, which is controlled by core promoter (CP) and further augmented by enhancer I (ENI) and enhancer II (ENII). DNA fragments coveri...
متن کاملNovel hepatitis B virus subgenotype in the southern Yunnan Province of China.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is highly prevalent in China. To identify the genotypes of HBV in the southern Yunnan Province of China, full-length HBV genomes were extracted from 1 Dai and 4 Hani HBV carriers and linked with the pMD T-18 vector. For each patient, 3-10 clones were sequenced directly and a consensus sequence was created. Genotypic and serotypic analysis revealed 4 HBV/B (2 B2...
