Core Tip	Molecular, clinical, geographical and ethnicity evidence are characteristics that define any hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype. All of these features are there for HBV genotype H, which is most predominant in Mexico, but not in Central America. Likewise, HBV genotype G has unique molecular characteristics and a similar route of transmission among those infected with this viral genotype, but it lacks a geographic origin. To date, despite the high prevalence of HBV genotype G cases from the Americas, especially among Mexicans, the limited number of complete sequences hinders further investigation to establish a hypothesis of an Amerindian origin.
