## Abstract Most patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)βnegative chronic hepatitis B have variants of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that include mutations in the precore or core promoter regions of the HBV genome. The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns of precore and core promoter
Mutations in the core promoter and precore regions are frequently found in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients, but precore stop codon mutation is restricted to hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes that have T at nucleotide 1858. The aims of this study were to determine the role of core pro
