Abstract

HBV genotype C is highly prevalent in Korea. Although it is a small percentage, genotype A also exists and it seems to take a more benign clinical course than genotype C. Further studies are necessitated to assess the relationship between HBV genotypes and the various aspects of the diseases' clinical course.
