Core Tip
Core Tip: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes and mutations significantly influence treatment responses, clinical outcomes, and disease etiology. Integrating genotyping and mutation studies improves diagnostic precision, treatment choices, and patient outcomes. Prioritizing genotype-specific management strategies will help healthcare practitioners maximize therapeutic efficacy and slow the course of disease. Future studies should concentrate on clarifying the molecular processes that underlie the pathophysiology and treatment outcomes specific to HBV genotypes. This thorough review highlights the significance of genotype-specific management approaches in the treatment of hepatitis B and offers an in-depth understanding of the intricate relationships between HBV genotypes, mutations, and clinical outcomes.
