| Core Tip |
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) has significant genomic diversity and some HBV variants are associated with antiviral therapy response, vaccine escape, diagnostic failure, liver fibrosis progression and hepato-cellular carcinoma development. Understanding HBV molecular epidemiology as well as the clinical and pathological relevence of HBV variants during different disease phases may enable more accurate risk-stratification of individual patients at risk for serious sequelae of chronic hepatitis B infection.
