Detection of hyper-conserved regions in hepatitis B virus X gene potentially useful for gene therapy

To detect hyper-conserved regions in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene (HBX) 5' region that could be candidates for gene therapy. The study included 27 chronic hepatitis B treatment-naive patients in various clinical stages (from chronic infection to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, bot...

Sumario:To detect hyper-conserved regions in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene (HBX) 5' region that could be candidates for gene therapy. The study included 27 chronic hepatitis B treatment-naive patients in various clinical stages (from chronic infection to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, both HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive), and infected with HBV genotypes A-F and H. In a serum sample from each patient with viremia.
