## 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

## Abstract During 35 years from 1971 to 2005, 153 patients with acute and 4,277 with chronic HBV infection visited the Toranomon Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. They were grouped into seven 5βyear periods, and HBV genotypes/subgenotypes were determined. Patients with acute HBV infection were younger (__
The involvement of precore stop codon 1896-A and base exchanges in the AT-rich region at positions 1762 and 1764 of the hepatitis B core promotor has been controversely discussed in adults with fulminant hepatitis B. Because no data are currently available on children, we analyzed the basic core pro

## Abstract Understanding the prevalence and diversity of HBsAg variants in a population is fundamental to assay design and planning vaccination programs. It has been shown that mutations within the S gene, caused by selection or natural variation, can lead to falseβnegative results in assays for H
