Objective To explore the relationship between the HBsAg positive patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and HBV DNA genotype. Methods By using PCR type-specific primers combined with sequencing of genotype, we analyzed the genotype of HBV DNA in the serum of 500 patients with positive HBsAg in our hospital. Among them, 150 cases suffered from HCC. Results Genotype B and C were both predominant genotypes in HBsAg positive patients. But in HCC group, the rate of genotype C was 65.33% (98/150), which was significantly higher than that in non-HCC group (88/350, 25.14%), while genotype B, in contrast, was 28.67% (43/150) and 68.86% (241/350), χ2=75.45, P lt;0.05. The distribution of HBV DNA genotype B or genotype C in different gender or different age groups were not statistically significantly different in cases of HCC (P gt;0.05). Conclusion Genotype C of HBV DNA is more common in patients with HCC, and maybe there is relationship between genotype C and the occurrence of HCC.
