The genotypes and subtypes of 15 Mexican hepatitis B virus strains were
determined by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the small S-gene. The
most predominant strains were found to be divergent genotype/subtype F/adw4
strains (66.6%), followed by A/adw2 (20.0%), D/ayw3 (6.7%), and G/adw2
(6.7%). The S-genes of the Mexican genotype F strains and two Nicaraguan
strains described previously formed a subcluster with more than 4%
divergence from the other strains within this genotype. The Mexican strains
within genotypes A and D showed the highest homology with strains from
Europe and the United States. Ten amino acid substitutions not described
previously were found in the S-genes of strains from nine chronic carriers,
whereas the S gene in strains from six acute hepatitis B patients were
highly conserved as compared to their respective genotypes. One genotype F
strain from an HBsAg positive chronic carrier had a T to A mutation at
position 647, forming a translational stop at codon 216. Two genotype F
strains from HBsAg negative chronic carriers had a Val180 instead of an Ala
found in the other genotype F strains. This study shows that a divergent
genotype F predominates in Mexican strains analyzed, which presented amino
acid substitutions not reported previously outside the a determinant. J.
