Impact of hepatitis B virus surface protein mutations on the diagnosis of occult hepatitis B virus infection

Genotype D occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections (OBIs) have a high frequency of amino acid substitutions in the major hydrophilic region of the small surface protein (S protein). This possibly reflects an escape mutation mechanism to evade detection by the host immune system. Mutations may also...
