The burden of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections is increasingly detected nowadays. Herein, we report a complete genome of HBV subgenotype C2 (HBV/C2) from a patient with chronic HBV infection. Complete genome analysis revealed that the isolated strain was a non-recombinant wild type and had several regular substitutions in the reverse transcriptase domain and small surface proteins of HBV. This study may help clinicians and scientists gain in-depth knowledge on the current substitutions of HBV/C2 genome and to identify potential therapies against chronic HBV infections.
