We previously reported two mutually exclusive mutations in the precore region of hepatitis B virus: MI (T-1856, proline-serine substitution at codon 15) and M 2 (A-1896, stop codon at codon 28). This study was conducted to determine if the presence of precore mutants affect spontaneous or interferon

To elucidate the relationship between the clinical severity of chronic liver disease and the precore mutations in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers, mutations were investigated in the precore region of HBV DNA in 20 chronic hepatitis B patients who seroconverted
## Abstract Factors influencing and predictive of seroconversion from hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) to antibody (antiβHBe) were sought in a caseβcontrol study of 61 patients with chronic hepatitis B who had been observed from 5 years before to 1 year after seroconversion, and 32 patients who did no
