Abstract: Approximately 6- to 11-fold decreases in susceptibility to 4'-Ed4T were observed for HIV-1 carrying NRTI-associated mutations (D67N, K70R, T215F, and K219Q) or the lamivudine (3TC)-resistant mutation M184V.
Evolution of HIV resistance during treatment interruption in experienced patients and after restarting a new therapy.
Abstract: Appearance of K70R could be explained by a reverse direction of a previously described pathway of thymidin analogues mutation resistance development, while G190A could be due to prolonged subinhibitory drug levels after cessation of NNRTIs.
Abstract: In two patients new reverse transcriptase associated mutations were detected during TI, G190A (NNRTI mutation) and K70R (NRTI mutation).
Structural analysis of reverse transcriptase mutations at codon 215 explains the predominance of T215Y over T215F in HIV-1 variants selected under antiretroviral therapy.
Abstract: Mutation T215F was preferentially associated with K70R (>71%), D67N (>73%) and K219Q/E/N (>76%), whereas T215Y was associated with M41L (>84%) and L210W (>58%).
Substitutions in the reverse transcriptase and protease genes of HIV-1 subtype B in untreated individuals and patients treated with antiretroviral drugs.
Abstract: Among mutations that confer resistance to antiretroviral drugs, M184V was present in 76% of treated patients and K70R in 31% (A-->G transitions).

Abstract: Five other strains carried drug resistance mutations to RTIs: K70R (one strain), V75M (three strains), and K101E (one strain).

Abstract: Among mutations that confer resistance to antiretroviral drugs, M184V was present in 76% of treated patients and K70R in 31% (A-->G transitions).
Result: Among all ARV-treated patients, 76.4% harbored M184V and 31.3% harbored K70R, both of which result from a A G transition.

Abstract: Although K70R has been described as the first mutation to appear in patients receiving ZDV monotherapy, the T215Y/F mutation appeared first in patients receiving dual-nucleoside combination therapy.

Abstract: Genes encoding AZT-resistant RTs with single or combined mutations D67N, K70R, T215F, and K219Q, and RTs derived from drug-resistant HIV-1 strains were designed and expressed in a variety of eukaryotic cells.

Abstract: An inverse relationship between the L210W and K70R mutations was also observed.
Strategies to decrease viral load rebound, and prevent loss of CD4 and onset of resistance during structured treatment interruptions.
Abstract: A relevant mutation in the reverse transcriptase sequence (K70R) emerged in one patient interrupting treatment after 36 weeks of continuous therapy and in one patient after four STI cycles.
