Core Tip	This is a comprehensive study of the influence of HBV genotypes B (HBV/B) and C (HBV/C) on the emergence of different types of pre-S deletions. Different patterns of pre-S deletion were found in HBV/B and HBV/C. Deletion in the pS2-B1 epitope, nucleocapsid binding site, start codon of M, and site for viral secretion was frequently found in HBV/B. Conversely, deletion in pS2-T and the start codon of L was frequently found in HBV/C. The prevalence of different pre-S deletions differed between HBV/B and HBV/C among patients with liver disease.
