In spite of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination, HBV infection remains an important public health problem worldwide. Although the HBV genotype distribution has been determined in some parts of South Central Asia, no survey has been conducted to determine the HBV genotype in Afghanistan. Twelve Afgha
## Abstract The hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes distribution and the core promoter (CP)/precore (PC) variability were evaluated by a line probe assay in 272 patients infected chronically enrolled consecutively in an area of the NorthβEastern Italy. Seven out of the eight genotypes were detected.
## Abstract The association of precore stop codon mutation (A1896), dinucleotide mutation (T1762/A1764) in the basic core promoter of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, and genotype of HBV with fulminant or subfulminant hepatitis remains controversial. We studied HBV genotypes as well as mutations in
