Abstract: There are several major genetic mutational patterns of resistance and cross-resistance that evolve with the
NRTIs including the thymidine analog mutations
M41L,
D67N,
K70R,
L210W,
T215Y, and
K219Q/E/W, the non-thymidine mutations
M184V,
L74V, and
K65R, and the multidrug resistant
Q151M complex, as well as others.
