Abstract: AIM: To investigate the relation between the genotype and the effect of lamivudine in patient with hepatitis B virus infection.METHODS: The genotype of hepatitis B virus and the YMDD mutation of 41 chronic hepatitis B patients with lamivudine treatment were detected and analyzed by DNA sequencing and oligochip technology. The DNA of HBV and the levels of ALT were detected before therapy and after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months with lamivudine treatment.RESULTS: 21 samples were classified as genotype B (51. 2 %) and 20 as genotype C (48. 8 %) in 41 samples. There were no significant differences on the levels of ALT between genotype B and C before and after lamivudine treatment for 12months (P > 0. 05). After lamivudine treatment, the rate of the transform negative of HBV DNA in genotype C was significantly higher than that in genotype B, and the rate of the bounce of HBV DNA in genotype B was higher than that in genotype C (P<0. 01). There were no significant difference on the rate of mutation in YMDD betmeen genotype B and C (P >0. 05).CONCLUSION: There may be a relation between the effect of lamivudine and the genotype of Hepatitis B virus.The effect of the lamivudine treatment may be better in the patients with genotype C.
