| genetic study of hepatitis b virus in indonesia reveals a new subgenotype of genotype b in east nusa tenggara. | the hepatitis b virus (hbv) genotype is associated with viral anthropological history, clinical outcome of disease and response to treatment. this study examines the hbv genotypes in indonesia. hbv genotypes were determined by whole-genome sequencing and from the sequence of the pre-s2 and s regions in a larger series. two hbv genotypes, b (hbv/b) and c (hbv/c), were predominant. three previously reported hbv/b subgenotypes were identified, with certain population association: hbv/b2 (hbv/ba) wa ... | 2008 | 18463783 |
| ethnogeographical structure of hepatitis b virus genotype distribution in indonesia and discovery of a new subgenotype, b9. | the distribution of hepatitis b virus (hbv) in the populations of island southeast asia is of medical and anthropological interest and is associated with an unusually high genetic diversity. this study examined the association of this hbv genetic diversity with the ethnogeography of the populations of the indonesian archipelago. whole genome analysis of 21 hbv isolates from east nusa tenggara and papua revealed two recently reported hbv/b subgenotypes unique to the former, b7 (7 isolates) and b8 ... | 2011 | 21318309 |
