A systematic review of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) drug and vaccine escape mutations in Africa
We have undertaken a systematic review of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) drug resistance associated mutations (RAMs) and vaccine escape mutations (VEMs) in Africa to quantify the prevalence, co-occurrence and geographic distribution of known mutations.
Below are details of the files shared here:
S1 Fig: HBV drug RAMs grouped according to genotype and geographic location;
S2 Fig: Distribution of HBV genotypes and prevalence of HBV RAMs in Pol/RT proteins in geno-A and geno-non-A samples
Panel A: Distribution of HBV genotypes derived from 35 studies reporting resistance associated mutations (RAMs) in Africa published between 2009 to 2017 (inclusive);
Panel B: Prevalence of HBV resistance associated mutations (RAMs) in Pol/RT proteins in geno-A and geno-non-A samples;
S1 Table:PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria for a systematic review of hepatitis B virus (HBV) drug and vaccine escape mutations in Africa.
