中国11城市乙型肝炎病毒慢性感染者中乙型肝炎病毒基因型分布

Distribution of hepatitis B virus genotypes in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection among 11 cities of China

目的了解中国乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）慢性感染者中HBV基因型的分布情况。方法收集北京、清远、深圳、石家庄、汉川、南京、长春、济南、聊城、宁波和温州市共1214份HBV DNA阳性的慢性HBV感染者血清样本,用型特异性引物聚合酶链反应法（PCR）进行基因型测定,并对其中部分样本以PCR产物直接测序验证。结果在1214份血清中,检测到A基因型9例,占0．7%;B基因型345例,占28．4%;C基因型709例,占58．4%;B、C混合基因型（B＋C）151例,占12．4%。未检测到其他基因型。北方地区（长春、北京、石家庄市等）慢性HBV感染者中,C基因型比例较高,分别为58．2%、67．5%和63．6%,山东省聊城和济南市的C基因型比例分别高达90．2%和87．9%。随地理位置南移,B基因型比例逐渐增加,广东省清远和深圳市的B基因型比例分别为71．4%和63．6%。结论HBV基因型分布有明显地区差异。在中国慢性HBV感染者中,HBV C和B基因型为主要流行株。北方地区以C基因型为优势株,而南方地区则B基因型较为多见。

Objective To investigate the distribution of hepatitis B virus （HBV）genotypes in patients with chronic HBV infection among 11 cities of China. Methods A total of 1214 serum samples from patients with chronic HBV infection were collected in 11 cities of China, including Beijing, Qingyuan, Shenzhen, Shijiazhuang, Hanchuan, Nanjing, Changchun, Liaocheng, Jinan, Ningbo and Wenzhou. Genotypes of the 1214 HBV strains were identified by PCR method with type specific primers. Parts of the results were confirmed by direct sequencing analysis of PCR products. Results Among the 1214 patients with chronic HBV infection,0.7% （9/1214）were genotype A,28.4 % （345/1214）genotype B,58.4 % （709/ 1214 ） genotype C, and 12.4 % （ 151 / 1214 ） genotype B and genotype C mixed infection. No other genotypes were found. Genotype C was predominant in the northern part of China, such as Changchun, Beijing, Shijiazhuang,while genotype B was more commonly seen in south of China. 71.4% （20/28） for patients from Qingyuan and 63.6% （70/110） from Shenzhen were infected with genotype B. Conclusion HBV genotypes had distinct geographic distribution. Genotype B and C the predominant strains in patients with chronic HBV infection in China. Genotype C was predominantly identified in the northern part of China versus genotype B the south.
