“…These 'hot-spot' mutations are located in the carboxy functional region, and thus might be associated with the transactivating function of the X protein [32]. Previous studies also reported that other amino acid substitutions, such as A36T, P38S, A44L, and H94Y were significantly associated with the risk of HCC [11,15,33,34]. However, the prevalence of these mutations, except A36T, was found to be relatively low in our study and there was no significant difference in their prevalence between the HCC and non-HCC group.…”

“…These dual mutants have been reported in up to 50-80% of patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B in Europe and Asia [6], and have been implicated in HCC development [7][8][9]. Apart from these variants, other mutations, such as T1753C/A/G in the BCP region and C1653T in the enhancer II region (EnhII) have become increasingly recognized as being associated with the outcome of chronic HBV infection, including HCC development [10][11][12].…”

“…For instance, many studies have revealed that the double mutation in BCP (A1762T/G1764A) is associated with an increased risk of severe liver disease including HCC, and can be used as a prediagnostic biomarker of HCC [24][25][26][27][28] . The predominant mutation in the precore region of HBV which involved a G-to-A change at nucleotide 1896, and resulted in a premature stop codon at codon 28, was proved to be associated with increased HCC risk [23,[28][29][30] .…”

“…Base on the inclusion criteria, only 17 case-control studies (Sakamoto et al, 2006;Tanaka et al, 2006;Shinkai et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2007;Yuan et al, 2007;Zhang et al, 2007;Fang et al, 2008;Guo et al, 2008;Jang et al, 2008;Choi et al, 2009;Ja et al, 2009;Tangkijvanich et al, 2010;Welschinger et al, 2010;Zhu et al, 2010;Cho et al, 2011;Qu et al, 2011;Tatsukawa et al, 2011) with full-text were included in this meta-analysis and 18 studies were excluded. The flow chart of study selection is summarized in Figure 1.…”
