ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype in population of Dong, Miao minority and Han in Guizhou.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>S region nucleotides were compared in 127 strains whole sequence of HBV and three restriction enzymes which can be used for genotyping were found by DNA software analysis system. The partial gene fragment of HBV S region was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR). The products were digested with Mbo I, BstN I or BsmA I and subjected to electrophoresis on agarose gel, respectively. The patterns of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) were analysed. The genotypes were determined by nPCR-RFLP in 166 asymptomatic HBV carriers (ASC), including 48 Dong minority, 52 Miao minority and 66 Han subjects. Some of the ASC were also analysed by direct sequencing of PCR products.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The nPCR-RFLP method was simple and accurate. Of the 166 ASC, 138 (83.13%) were genotype B, and 28 (16.87%) were genotype C. Of the 48 Dong minority subjects, 47 (97.2%) were genotype B and 1 (2.08%) was type C. Of the 52 Miao minority subjects, 49 (94.23%) were genotype B and 3 (5.77%) were genotype C. Of the 66 Han subjects, 42 (63.64%) were genotype B and 24 (36.36%) were genotype C. There was a statistical significance in the distribution of genotype C between Dong, Miao minority and Han (7.85% vs 36.36% P less than 0.005).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Genotype B and C exist in Guizhou and genotype B is the major genotype. Genotype C is found more frequently in Han than in Dong and Miao minority.</p>
