Core Tip	Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic in the Arctic with serologic markers of chronic HBV infection in up to 29% of the population in some areas in Greenland. Interestingly, Inuit populations in Greenland and Canada rarely show signs of liver disease as opposed to Alaskan Inuit where hepatocellular carcinoma was common before introduction of vaccination. Wheather this is related to a special favorable genotype or other host or environmental factors remains to be clarified. This paper is a review of present status.
