H epatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem. The importance of HCV infection lies in its propensity to cause insidious and progressive liver damage, including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The clinical and financial impact of HCV infection on this nati

Emerging data suggest that the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and the precore and core promoter variants impact the outcome of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for hepatitis B. The aim of this study was to determine if there is a correlation between HBV genotype, precore and core promoter va

We have investigated the impact of the donor risk index (DRI) on the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients undergoing liver transplantation (LTx). Retrospective analysis was performed from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network database (January 1, 2000 to June, 2006). The
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants with deletions in the preS region have not been evaluated for association with viral genotypes. In a caseβcontrol study, HBV DNA samples collected from 80 each of carriers infected with HBV genotype B or C were examined for preS deletions. PreS deletion m
