## Abstract We analyzed the evolution of the precore/core gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV) over a period of 6 to 11 years in seven patients with chronic HBV infection, who exhibited a variety of clinical features. Sequence analysis revealed the following results: (1) HBeAg to anti‐HBe seroconversion
