A variant of hepatitis B virus has been described recently in HBsAg+ Mediterranean patients who lack HBeAg and who have an unusual and severe form of chronic hepatitis. This variant is unable to produce HBeAg because of the presence of a novel translational stop codon at the end of the precore regio

Human TNFRSF5, a key signaling molecule expressed by antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, might have associations with autoimmune diseases and various infectious diseases. In the present study, we screened single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TNFRSF5 and examined whether they are risk
Two patients with chronic type B hepatitis and intercurrent episodes of acute type A hepatitis are presented. Serological markers of hepatitis B virus replication decreased or became undetectable in both patients during the acute illness, while interferon activity was transiently detected in serum.
## Abstract A number of genetic loci have been proposed to be associated with persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. This study aimed to evaluate the association and interaction of susceptible genes with HBV persistence in a Chinese population. A total of 17 polymorphisms in 9 candidate gene
