Method: We excluded individuals with prior evidence of NNRTI-associated resistance mutations based on the IAS-USA HIV drug-resistance mutations list (2019) (V90I, A98G, L100I, K101E/H/P/Q/R/N, K103N/S, V106A/M/I, V108I, E138K/A/G/Q/R, V179D/F/L/T, Y181C/I/V, Y188L/C/H, G190A/S/E,H221Y, P225H, F227L/C/R,

Result: Integrase mutants with G118R or G118R plus E138K exhibited faster doluteg
Result: A subcluster of sequences containing K160T in addition to G118R, E138K, and R263K showed the greatest evolutionary distance.
Result: Clonal and population sequences at CVW from participant 3 had multiple evolving pathways with >=2 integrase substitutions, with separate clusters forming for sequences containing H51Y and G118R (bootstrap = 96%) and those containing G118R, E138K, and R263K (bootstrap = 90%).

Abstract: G118R reduced dolutegravir susceptibility and integrase replication capacity mor
Result: Additional integrase substitutions accumulated at weeks 136 and 168, with genotyping results of E138A/E/K/T, S147G/S, and R263K and E138T, S147G, and R263K, respectively.
Result: Four of 5 participants with G118R had 1 additional treatment-emergent INSTI-associated substitution of L74M, E138E/K, E92E/Q, or T66I, respectively.

Method: Patients with previously documented HIV-2 infection, with active AIDS, and with documented genotypic evidence of >=1 NNRTI resistance-associated mutation (RAM) from a predefined list of the following NNR
Result: The most frequent treatment-emergent RPV RAM at the last post-baseline time point was E138K (5/15 patients [33.3%]).
Result: Three patients had both treatment-emergent RPV RAM E138K and NRTI RAM M184V at the last post-baseline time point with genotypic data.
Discussion: The most common treatment-emergent RPV and NRTI RAMs were E138K and M184V, respectively.

Discussion: In the 3 real-world cases, other INSTI-R substitutions were also noted, including L74I, E138K, S147G, and H51Y, along with M184V in RT.

Result: However, when E138K was introduced into either clone, EC50 values against rilpivirine were above the biological cutoff, with fold change values of 2.38 and 2.21 for the viruses with PR/RT genes from NL4-3 and 92UG307, respectively.
Result: Therefore, the known E138K and K101E mutations conferred EC50 fold change values consistent with in vitro resistance to rilpivirine equally across clones containing PR/RT genes from HIV-1 subtypes B and A1 (https://hivdb.stanford.edu/dr-summary/resistance-notes/NNRTI/).
Discussion: As the presence of E138K alone has been associated with decreased susceptibility to rilpivirine, the discrepancy observed between observations

Conclusion: The HIV-1 pol gene genotypic resistance analysis showed development of the NRTI M184V mutation, and NNRTI K103N and E138EK mutations in plasma, respectively.
Conclusion: The nonpolymorphic NNRTI K103N mutation causes high-level resistance to efavirenz (EFV), and E138K mutation causes potential low-level cross-resistance to EFV, which was discontinued together with 3TC.
High Level of Pre-Treatment HIV-1 Drug Resistance and Its Association with HLA Class I-Mediated Restriction in the Pumwani Sex Worker Cohort.
Result: For example, E138K, a well-known escape mutation, was first identified in participant ML874 (A*68:02+) in the blood sample collected in 1996, and this DRM was also detected in the samples collected in 2003 from the same participant.
Result: The HLA-DRM associations involving HLA alleles at >10% frequency in Kenya are A*68:02 with DRMs G190ES (p = 0.008), IN E138K (p = 0.042), C*17:01 with DRMs M46I (p = 0.018), and IN E138K (p = 0.021).
Result: The examination of the effect of the identified clinically important DRMs on the disease progression by Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that E138K_RT mutation is significantly associated with disease progression (p = 0.002) (Figure 2).
