    Hepatitis B virus genotypes and subgenotypes and the natural history and epidemiology of hepatitis B
    (2022) REUTER, Tania Queiroz; GOMES-GOUVEA, Michele; CHUFFI, Samira; DUQUE, Ulisses Horst; CARVALHO, Jose Americo; PERINI, Waltesia; QUEIROZ, Marcello Moro; SEGAL, Ingrid Marques; AZEVEDO, Raymundo Soares; PINHO, Joao Renato Rebello
    Introduction and Objectives: Espirito Santo state is considered a region with a higher frequency of hepatitis B virus infection. This study characterized demographic, epidemiological, laboratory, virological and clinical aspects of 587 chronic HBV carriers followed up at the University of Espirito Santo Hospital. Materials and Methods: Demographic, epidemiological, laboratory and clinical data were extracted from medical records during the entire follow-up period. Classification of the evolutionary phases of chronic hepatitis B was defined as immunotolerant; inactive carrier; chronic active hepatitis HBeAg (+) and HBeAg (-). Characterization of HBV genotypes/subgenotypes was performed by sequencing of overlapping surface antigens and HBV DNA polymerase genes. Phylogenetic relationships were determined using BEAST 1.8.3 software. Results: and Conclusions: Genotypes found were A (132/65.3%) [A1 = 129 (63.9%) and A2 = 3 (1.5%)], D (66/32.7%) [D3 = 56 (27.7%), D4 = 8 (4.0%) and D2 = 2 (1.0%)] and F (4/2.0%) - all F2a. Subgenotypes A1 or D3 were not associated with age, sex, HIV/HCV co-infection, viral load, antiviral usage, HBeAg status or clinical stages of chronic hepatitis B. Mother -to-child-transmission (MTCT) was associated with the subgenotype A1 and intrafamilial transmission with subgenotype D3. Subgenotype A1 was more frequent than D3 among individuals born outside ES compared to those born in ES. Conclusions: The most predominant clinical phases were HBeAg (-), inactive carrier and chronic active hepatitis HBeAg (-). Subgenotypes A1 and D3 were most frequent and were associated were MTCT and intrafamilial transmission of HBV, respectively. (C) 2021 Fundacion Clinica Medica Sur, A.C.

    Core Promoter and Pre-Core Variants of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Are Frequent in Chronic Hepatitis B HBeAg-Negative Patients Infected by Genotypes A and D
    (2023) REUTER, Tania; GOMES-GOUVEA, Michele Soares; CHUFFI, Samira; DUQUE, Ulisses Horst; PERINI, Waltesia; AZEVEDO, Raymundo Soares; PINHO, Joao Renato Rebello; LEWIS-XIMENEZ, Lia L.; VILLAR, Livia Melo; ESPUL, Carlos Alberto; PUJOL, Flor H.; ROMAN, Sonia
    In Brazil, hepatitis B virus endemicity is low, moderate, or high in some areas, such as Espirito Santo State in the southeast region. In this study, we intend to characterize the basal core promoter (BCP) and pre-core region (PC) variants and their association with clinical/epidemiological disease patterns in patients infected with genotypes A and D. The study included 116 chronic hepatitis B patients from Espirito Santo State, Southeast Brazil, infected with genotypes A and D. Basal core promoter (BCP) and pre-core mutations were analyzed in these patients. The frequency of BCP and PC mutations was compared with age, HBeAg status, HBV genotype and subgenotype, HBV-DNA level, clinical classification, and transmission route. HBeAg-negative status was found in 101 (87.1%) patients: 87 (75.0%) were infected with genotype A (A1 = 85; A2 = 2) and 29 (25.0%) were infected with genotype D (D3 = 24; D4 = 3; D2 = 2). BCP + PC variants altogether were more frequent (48.1%) in genotype D than in genotype A strains (6.0%) (p < 0.001). When this evaluation was performed considering the cases that presented only the A1762T and/or G1764A (BCP) mutations, it was observed that the frequency was higher in genotype A (67.5%) compared to genotype D (7.4%) (p < 0.001). On the other hand, considering the samples with mutations only in positions G1896A and/or G1899A (PC), the frequency was higher in genotype D (75.8%) than in genotype A (6.9%) (p < 0.001). Interestingly, HBV DNA was lower than 2000 IU/mL especially when both BCP/PC mutations were present (p < 0.001) or when only PC mutations were detected (p = 0.047), reinforcing their role in viral replication.
