HBV Drug Resistance

We offer specialized Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) drug resistance testing, a critical tool for managing chronic HBV infection. As HBV can develop mutations in its polymerase gene that lead to resistance against antiviral medications, identifying these changes is paramount for effective patient care. Our testing helps clinicians choose the most appropriate treatment regimen, preventing therapeutic failure and optimizing long-term outcomes

The primary type of HBV drug resistance testing we utilize is genotypic resistance testing, which involves sequencing the HBV polymerase gene to identify specific mutations known to confer resistance to nucleotide analogues (NAs) like lamivudine, adefovir, entecavir, and tenofovir. This molecular approach provides a direct and highly sensitive method to detect resistance-associated mutations, guiding personalized treatment strategies for patients.
