Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to reveal virological and clinical features of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype D infection.Methods: One hundred and twenty-two Mongolian chronic liver disease (CLD) patients infected with HBV were subjected for serological HBV-markers screening and HBV-enzyme immunoassay (EIA) genotyping. Nucleotide sequences were analyzed for 48 HBV/D strains (23 isolated from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 25 from CLD patients).Results: Prevalence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positivity was low (25.9%) in young patients (= 5 log copies/mL). Precore stop codon mutation A1896 was detected in (70.8%) of HBV/D-infected patients.Conclusions: In Mongolians infected with HBV/D, C1752 and/or V1753 mutation was associated with HCC.
