Non-synonymous mutations in the S region of Palestinian D1 subgenotypes.

Positions of the nucleotide (nt) mutation and the correlating amino acid (aa) are presented based on their location in the archived GenBank reference DQ315778. Occurrence reflects the number of samples (patients) in which the mutation was detected. Known escape mutations are in boldface. Exchanges marked with (*) are considered polymorphisms due to their prevalence in>10% of the 40 patients. Corresponding references and proposed functions are provided in the last two columns. Unreported mutations were considered novel.Non-synonymous mutations in the S region of Palestinian D1 subgenotypes.
