Figure 2 Prevalence of pre-S2 start codon mutation in all samples and in patients infected with hepatitis B virus/B, hepatitis B virus/C, hepatitis B e antigen (+), hepatitis B e antigen (-). A: Prevalence of pre-S2 start codon mutation in all samples; B: Prevalence of pre-S2 start codon mutation in patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV)/B; C: Prevalence of pre-S2 start codon mutation in patients infected with HBV/C; D: Prevalence of pre-S2 start codon mutation in patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) (-); E: Prevalence of pre-S2 start codon mutation in patients with HBeAg(+). aP < 0.05 vs AC; cP < 0.05 vs CH. AC: Asymptomatic carrier; CH: Chronic hepatitis; LC: Liver cirrhosis; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma.
