HBV Genotype Is a Significant Factor in Determining Which Chronic HBV Patients Should Undergo Surveillance for HCC
Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.)
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE
This study looks at 1185 Alaska natives with chronic hepatitis HBV in an area of Alaska where it is endemic. These individuals have been followed in a long-term study since 1983, with a median follow up of 35.1 years. This study specifically looks at the HBV genotype and its effect on the development of HCC. Of the five HBV genotypes found (A2, B6, C2, D, and F1), the genotype distribution was 49% D, 18% F, 13% A, 6% C, 3% B, 0.1% H, and 12% undetermined. There have been 63 cases of HCC occurring in the follow-up period, with the genotype F1 (5.73 per 1,000 person-years) having the greatest occurrence with a relative risk (RR) of 12.7, followed by C2, A2, D, and then B6 (0.0 per 1,000 person-years).
HBV genotype has a strong association with HCC, and should be taken into account for risk stratification. It should be part of screening algorithms and HCC surveillance recommendations.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Information is limited regarding HBV genotype and the outcome of chronic HBV (CHB) infection. We examined the effect of HBV genotype on HCC occurrence in Alaska Native (AN) persons with CHB, where five HBV genotypes are found: A2, B6, C2, D, and F1.
APPROACH AND RESULTS
We calculated HCC incidence per 1,000 person-years of follow-up to determine which groups by age, sex, and genotype met current American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) HCC surveillance criteria. We used Poisson regression to compare HCC risk by genotype, age, sex, and Alaska region. Incidence of HCC was calculated using the sex-specific AASLD cutoff recommended for the Asian population of 50 years for women and 40 years for men. HCC screening was conducted semiannually using alpha-fetoprotein levels and abdominal ultrasound. Among 1,185 AN persons, median follow-up was 35.1 years; 667 (63%) were male. The HBV genotype distribution was 49% D, 18% F, 13% A, 6% C, 3% B, 0.1% H, and 12% undetermined. Sixty-three cases of HCC occurred. HCC incidence for genotype F was 5.73 per 1,000 person-years of follow-up, followed by 4.77 for C, 1.28 for A, 0.47 for D, and 0.00 for B. The HCC risk was higher for genotypes F (relative rate [RR], 12.7; 95% CI, 6.1-26.4), C (RR, 10.6; 95% CI, 4.3-26.0), and A (RR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.0-8.0) compared to genotypes B and D. Among men < 40 years of age and women < 50 years of age, genotype F had the highest incidence (4.79/1,000 person-years).
CONCLUSIONS
HBV genotype was strongly associated with HCC. HBV genotype should be considered in risk factor stratification.
