Pre-S1 Mutations as Indicated by Serum Pre-S1 Antigen Negative is Associated with an Increased Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients

Pre-S1 antigen (pre-S1) is a component of hepatitis B virus large surface antigen (L-HBsAg). This study aimed to investigate the association between clinical pre-S1 antigen (pre-S1) status and adverse prognostic events in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This study retrospectively enrolled 840 CH...

Description
Summary:Pre-S1 antigen (pre-S1) is a component of hepatitis B virus large surface antigen (L-HBsAg). This study aimed to investigate the association between clinical pre-S1 antigen (pre-S1) status and adverse prognostic events in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This study retrospectively enrolled 840 CHB patients with comprehensive clinical data, including 144 patients with multiple follow-up of pre-S1 status. All patients were tested for serum pre-S1 and divided into pre-S1 positive and negative groups. Single factor and logistic multiple regression analyses were performed to explore the association between pre-S1 and other HBV biomarkers with the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in CHB patients. The pre-S1 region sequences of HBV DNA were obtained from one pre-S1 positive and two pre-S1 negative treatment-naïve patients using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification followed by Sanger sequencing. The quantitative HBsAg level was significantly higher in the pre-S1 positive group than that in the pre-S1 negative group (Z=-15.983,
