This study was performed to analyze the potential resistant mutations within HBV reverse transcriptase (RT) sequences against nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA). HBV DNA RT region spanning from amino acid 169 to 250 was amplified and sequenced from 435 HBV patients who experienced NA treatment. Among study’s cohort, genotypes B and C infected patients were 55.9% and 44.1%, respectively. Mutations were recorded in 54.7% (238/435) patients at 22 positions. Genotype C displayed significant higher frequency of potential NA resistant mutations than genotype B (63.0%  vs . 48.1%,  P  = 0.003). Moreover, eight mutation sites, including 180, 181, 191, 200, 202, 221, 229 and 224, in genotype C showed significant higher frequencies than in genotype B. In contrast, mutation at site 236 was more common in genotype B. Notably, 11 mutations at position 169, 202, 250, 173, 180, 200, 207, 214, 237, 242 and 245 coexisted with M204I or V. Substitutions at nine non-classical mutation sites (191, 207, 213, 218, 221, 224, 229, 238 and 242) were detected in patients with virological breakthrough. Particularly, tenofovir (TDF) resistance was observed in one patient undergoing TDF monotherapy and experienced several NA treatment before. These results might provide clinical useful information under antiviral therapy.
