  1. All functional or structural abnormalities of HBV genes are observed in the mutant isolates not in the normal isolates.
  2. LD-Y: lengths of CpG islands between normal and mutant isolates are different. LD-N: lengths of CpG islands between normal and mutant isolates are not different. +: The functional or structural abnormalities of HBV genes are observed; −: The functional or structural abnormalities of HBV genes are not observed.
