Prevalence of HBV precore/core promoter variants in the United States (2003)

Chu, Chi-Jen, Keeffe, Emmet B., Han, Steven-Huy, Perrillo, Robert P., Min, Albert D., Soldevila-Pico, Consuelo, ...

Variants in the precore (G 1896 A) and core promoter (A 1762 T, G 1764 A) regions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be related to serum HBV DNA levels and severity of liver disease. The aims of this...

Quantitative serum HBV DNA levels during different stages of chronic hepatitis B infection (2002)

Chu, Chi-Jen, Hussain, Munira, Lok, Anna S. F.

The goals of this retrospective study were to determine whether there is a threshold hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA value associated with spontaneous or antiviral therapy–related hepatitis B e antigen...

HBV genotype B is associated with better response to interferon therapy in HBeAg(+) chronic hepatitis than genotype C (2002)

Wai, Chun Tao, Chu, Chi-Jen, Hussain, Munira, Lok, Anna S. F.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and precore/core promoter mutations have been implicated in spontaneous and interferon alfa (IFN-Α)–related hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion. We...

Outcome of liver transplantation for hepatitis B: Report of a single center's experience (2001)

Chu, Chi-Jen, Fontana, Robert J., Moore, Charles, Armstrong, Douglas R., Punch, Jeffrey D., Su, Grace L., ...

Results of liver transplantation (LT) for hepatitis B have improved significantly with the use of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and/or lamivudine. The aim of this study is to review the...
