BACKGROUND:Based on differences in the virus nucleotide sequence, hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes are presently divided into genotypes A-H. The geographic distributions of HBV genotypes differ in countries and regions. To determine the general characteristics of their distributions in the mainland of China, we reviewed articles on HBV genotypes published in China. METHODS:The Wanfang Database and the CNKI Database were searched for original articles involving HBV in China, and then the data from the articles were classiifed according to genotype and latitude and analyzed using SPSS 11.0. RESULTS:The main HBV genotypes were C, B and BC, and their rates were 50.99%, 35.58%, 6.07%, respectively;other genotypes were rare. There was a negative correlation between latitude and the rate of genotype B (r=-0.782,P
