Both the HBV RT polymerase and the HBsAg encoding regions are sequenced. Resistance and surface antigen mutations are reported. In addition, the eight major HBV genotypes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H) are identified. Mutations in viral sub-populations below 20% of total may not be detected. Sequence data from the patient's specimen is available upon request.
