Abstract
⺠Prevalence and implications of HBV mutation/genotype in dual BC infection is unknown. ⺠Dual infection has a higher prevalence of genotype C and less G1896A mutation. ⺠Genotype C is associated with more A1762T/G1764A mutation, but less G1896A mutation. ⺠Specific HBV mutations could predict long-term HBV response after IFN therapy.
