Cautions
This test may be unsuccessful if the HBV Viral load is less than log 3.0 or 1000 IU/mL of plasma.
Interpretation
Both the HBV RT polymerase and the HBsAg encoding regions are sequenced. Resistance and surface antigen mutations are reported. In addition, the major HBV genotypes are identified. Mutations in viral sub-populations below 20% of total may not be detected.
