Background. Most patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection become carriers of inactive virus after hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion; however, a subgroup of patients have persistent abnormal transaminase levels and develop hepatocellular carcinoma after seroconversion.Methods. In an age-matched case-control study, 40 carriers of inactive virus (mean age +/- standard deviation [SD], 50.9 +/- 11.1 years), 40 patients with chronic hepatitis (mean age 50.2 +/- 8.9 years), and 40 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (mean age +/- SD, 50.7 +/- 9.4 years) who were infected with hepatitis B virus genotype C and had test results positive for antibody to hepatitis B e antigen were analyzed.Results. The prevalence of T1653 in the box alpha was significantly higher among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma than among carriers of inactive virus who did not have hepatocellular carcinoma (70% vs. 25%; P= 37 U/L, and a platelet count of
