However, this patient experienced virological breakthrough under TDF with a HBV strain bearing rtL80M, rtL180M, rtM204V/I, rtA200V, rtF221Y, rtS223A, rtT184A/L, rtR153Q, and rtV191I combined mutations without rtA194T mutation. TDF resistance may emerge due to multi-site polymerase mutations rather than single-site polymerase mutation.
s necessary to change it now since Epivir works well with me (my DNA is 200 copies). But he was worried about resistance and mutation. Do I have to listen to him? I got Viread today but I am not sure I would start taking it from today.

p.s.: Do you guys drink coffee? I started drinking coffee about 4 months ago...Do you think coffee would make my liver stressed???
Hence you can speak to the treating Hepatologist / Gastroenterologist about mutation analysis / Lamivudine resistance testing. A liver biopsy is required to know the status.
Hope this information helps and hope that you will get better soon.
Best Regards.

Recently I asked the study nurse at my site to ask for the viral mutation data from my prove 3 bloods.
I became low detectable during week 8 and it went up by week 12.
My last draw I was told would include a virus sequencing (to determine the mutuations I think).
I would like to have this info it could be important to know for my next attempt (if it is a protease tx and if there are the strong resistant virus type I can forget about it).
(20) The T69S insertion mutations, associated with resistance to multiple nucleoside analogues, are associated with resistance to tenofovir as well. Tenofovir resistance conferred by the T69S mutation or by multiple thymidine analogue resistance mutations appears to be multiplied if the M184V mutation is replaced by wild-type.(21) The K65R mutation, which may be selected by prior nucleoside analogue therapy, is associated with a modest decrease in sensitivity to tenofovir.
To evaluate amino acid changes within HBV pol/RT after up to 240 weeks of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment and determine their potential association with resistance to TDF. No TDF resistance has been detected through 192 weeks of TDF treatment. Methods: Patients in Studies GS-US-174-0102 (HBeAg-) and GS-US-174-0103 (HBeAg+) were randomized 2:1 to receive TDF or adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) for 48 weeks followed by open-label TDF.
Eithne01,
The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML.
Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.
A single mutation associated with resistance has been reported at position 168 in the replicon system. A resistance mutation at this position has not been found during treatment with telaprevir and boceprevir. Therefore, ITMN-191 has the potential to be effective against HCV
variants resistant to telaprevir and boceprevir. However, this hypothesis needs further evaluation in clinical trials.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to characterise a novel HBV pattern which shows resistance to lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil and entecavir using in vitro phenoyping assay.
Study design
A male 36 years old patient diagnosed with anti HBe-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) had received lamivudine treatment for 7 years following an initial unsuccessfull interferon treatment. The therapy had been switched to adefovir and then to entecavir when breakthrough occcured during each treatment.
What is the risk of double pc mutation at g1896a and c1858t combined with bcp mutation at a1762T and G1764A with Genotype C. It seems I am really @#$$@#$ . Will these 2 combinations create antiviral resistance?
As far as resistance to Sovaldi, the data at this time shows that it has a high resistance barrier to mutation and also low chance of cross resistance. In both NEUTRINO and FISSION trials, deep sequencing analysis of patients taking sofosbuvir who relapsed after having a virologic response showed no evidence of resistance-associated variants.
three patients infected with HBV genotype C had the rtM204V + rtL180M mutations associated with lamivudine (LMV) resistance. Four patients had the rtI233V mutation that may reduce sensitivity to adefovir, and three patients had the rtM250L/V mutation typical of entecavir resistance. LMV compensatory mutations rtL80V and rtV173L were seen in two and one patients, respectively.
It is possible that the white blood cell count would normalize after 2 weeks of taking
because etv is still active on many strains except those resistant for which tdf will work, after sometime stable on the combo yo may go tdf only, maybe they keep the combo to avoid any possible mutation of resistance to tdf too, etv will protect you from that being active on tdf resistance strains

which seems to provide a definite answer to your question about transmission of resistance strains. The A156T mutation confers resistance to all three NS3-targeted drugs (telaprevir, boceprevir, biln). If up to 1% of virions carry this mutation in a never-treated patient they are definitely fit enough to pass an infection. Given the 1% it might take a transfusion rather than a needle stick.
