摘要
为了解慢性乙型肝炎(乙肝)患者是否有前C区基因突变及其与临床的关系,应用快速检测乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)前C区基因突变方法,对53例患者进行了研究。结果显示:25例HBVDNA阳性患者中13例有突变株感染,最常见的突变形式为1898位或伴有1901位突变(10/13例)。突变株检出率与性别、年龄、乙肝家族史及血清丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)水平无关,病程>5年的患者检出率有增高趋势。突变株检出主要集中在抗-HBe阳性患者中(77.8%),并随肝组织炎症程度加重而增加,重型肝炎患者突变株检出率最高(66.7%)。研究结果提示,突变株的产生可能与机体免疫压力的选择有关。
To examine whether there are precore mutants in patients with type B chronic hep-atitis and its clinicai relevance,we used rapid detection method for hepatitis B virus(HBV)precoremutation in 53 patients.The results showed that of 25 HBV DNA positive patients,13 patientswere infected by mutants or coinfected by precore mutants and wild type strain,The mutation at nt1898 or/and nt 1901 was the most common mutation(10/13).It was found that there were no cor-relation between infection with precore mutants and sex,age,family history of HBV infection,andserum level of ALT,Patients with clinical course>5 years had an increasing detection rate of pre-core mutants.Precore mutants were mainly found in anti-HBe positive patients(77.8%).Therewas a higher detection rate of precore mutants in patients with severe hepatitis(66.7%),andseemed associated with the severity of liver inflammationThe results suggest that the occurrence ofprecore mutants may be associated with immune selective pressure in the infected host.
