    Basal core promoter mutation is associated with progression to cirrhosis rather than hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis B virus infection

    As most cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have concurrent cirrhosis, viral factors identified to be associated with HCC might be related to cirrhosis rather than HCC.

    Localization of a susceptibility locus for hepatocellular carcinoma to chromosome 4q in a hepatitis B hyperendemic area

    Chromosome 4q is one of the most common regions with a high frequency of allelic loss in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). To identify the HCC-susceptibility locus on chromosome 4q, we have performed linkage and...

    Increased Incidence of Fulminant Hepatic Failure in Previously Unrecognized HBsAg Carriers with Acute Hepatitis Independent of Etiology

    Previous studies have shown a high risk of fulminant hepatitis in HBsAg carriers with acute hepatitis. The etiology of acute hepatitis in HBsAg carriers was heterogeneous. This study aimed to correlate the inc...

    Characterization of nuclear localization of a hepatitis B virus precore protein derivative P22

    Both of hepatitis B virus core protein and a precore protein derivative, named P22, have been shown to localize in the nucleus. Although P22 has ten additional amino acid residues at its amino-terminus, both p...
