Compartmentalisation of Hepatitis B virus X gene evolution in hepatocellular carcinoma microenvironment and the genotype-phenotype correlation of tumorigenicity in HBV-related patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exists as quasispecies (QS). However, the evolutionary characteristics of haplotypes of HBV X gene in the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) microenvironment remain unclear. Mutations across X gene are essential for the tumorigenicity of HBV X protein (HBx). However, the function...
