Genotype switching in hepatitis B virus as a potential risk for vertical transmission from mother-to-child was first reported

First report of #HBV mother‑to‑child transmission despite low #maternal #viralload and #immunoprophylaxis, revealing #GenotypeSwitching and quasispecies diversity as key factors in #MTCT mechanisms.
