Novel HBV mutations and their value in predicting efficacy of conventional interferon

PC-P159T (ntC2288A), BCP-N118T (ntA1726C), BCP-L134L (ntA1775C/G/T), PC-G182C (ntG2357T) and PC-S64A/T (ntT2003G/A) were novel identified mutations that impacted IFN therapeutic efficacy. These novel mutations could serve as important predictors before conventional IFN treatment.
