rt269I Type of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Polymerase versus rt269L Is More Prone to Mutations within HBV Genome in Chronic Patients Infected with Genotype C2: Evidence from Analysis of Full HBV Genotype C2 Genome

Recently, it has been reported that the rt269I type of hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase (Pol) versus the rt269L type is more significantly related to lower viral replication and HBeAg negative infections in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients of genotype C2. In this study, we compared mutation rate...
