AbstractBackground/aims: In eastern Asian countries, hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype Ba (HBV/Ba), HBV/Bj and HBV/C are prevalent. The aim was to investigate the response or resistance to lamivudine therapy among patients with different HBV genotypes. Methods: Of 67 Japanese and Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B, 18 patients with HBV/Bj, 15 with HBV/Ba and 34 with HBV/C were selected for a case-control study matched according to gender and age. All the patients were treated with lamivudine for 2 years and evaluated the response or emergence of the YMDD mutation at year 2 during the treatment. HBV genotypes were detected by the restriction fragment length polymorphism. The YMDD mutation was detected by the direct sequencing after amplification by PCR. Results: At year 2 during therapy, 44.8% of the patients showed normalization of ALT and undetectable HBV DNA (favorable response), 35.8% developed the YMDD mutation. There was no significant difference of response to the therapy among the three genotype groups. The emergence of the YMDD mutation was associated with HBV/C. By the multiple logistic regression analysis, however, the significant factor of a favorable response was a higher pretreatment ALT level and negative HBeAg status and the significant factor of the emergence of the YMDD mutation was HBV/C. Conclusions: Higher pretreatment ALT level, HBeAg status or HBV genotype may affect the response or resistance to lamivudine therapy. © 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
