Hepatitis B Virus Genotypes and Mutants and Risk of HCC
The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) increases with increasing serum level of hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, it is unclear whether HBV genotype and/or common variants in the precore and basal core promoter (BCP) regions of the HBV genome also contribute to the risk of HCC. Yang et al. (p. 1134) estimated the incidence of HCC in association with HBV genotype and precore and BCP mutants for 2762 Taiwanese men and women participated in a community-based cohort study with long-term follow-up. The participants were seropositive for HBV surface antigen but had not been diagnosed with HCC. HBV genotype C and the BCP A1762T/G1764A double mutant
