Analysis of antiviral therapy resistant mutations of Omani HBV isolates.

Abstract

<p>The amino acid sequences of the HBV polymerase (reverse transcriptase region; aa rtM1 to rtL275) of the Omani resistant mutation isolates were aligned with the corresponding region of the reference sequences (HBV-genotypes A to H; GenBank accession numbers are denoted) by ClustalW with Neighbor Joining method and 1000 bootstrap replicates. Described antiviral resistant mutations were highlighted and denoted at the top (e.g., L80V).</p
