Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore genomic mutations in circulating Hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains in India and their impact on HBV-related diseases.
- A total of 222 HBsAg positive patients were examined, revealing HBV genotype D in 55% and genotype A in 30% of samples, with many patients showing spontaneous drug resistance mutations.
- The findings highlighted that the Core region of the virus was the most conserved, while specific mutations in the X gene were linked to a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and raised concerns about antiviral resistance.
