Our data suggest that HBV genotype C is associated with more severe liver disease and genotype B may be associated with the development of HCC in young Taiwanese. However, additional large-scale longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the relationship of HBV genotypes to liver disease severity and clinical outcomes.
