Regions within X gene (X), Polymerase gene (P), Core gene (C), surface gene (S), region spanning X & precore (A), cccDNA (E). *Genes across compartments that could not be sequenced due to faint gel band, library failure, DNA poor quality or degraded. S.N. 1 - only patient where we could successfully amplify same gene across 3 compartments (X).
