Abstract: The majority of these samples (n = 107) were then analyzed using a radiolabeled oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) specific for K70R, K103N, and Y181C, using nonstandard bases to accommodate sequence heterogeneity.
Abstract: These findings suggest a relatively high frequency of K103N mutation in the drug-naive, subtype A and D infected Ugandan population as compared to the very low frequency of the Y181C and K70R mutation (<0.6%).

Abstract: Drug resistance mutations identified in common to subtypes B, F, and recombinants B/F were protease inhibitors M46I/L (29%), I54V (24%), A71V (22%), and V82A/F (31%); reverse transcriptase nucleoside resistance mutations M41L (52%), D67N (30%), K70R (26%), M184V (88%), L210W (29%), T215Y/I/F (65%), and K219Q/E/N (28%); and reverse transcriptase nonnucleoside resistance mutation K103N (52%).
Factors associated with the emergence of K65R in patients with HIV-1 infection treated with combination antiretroviral therapy containing tenofovir.
Abstract: RESULTS: In an adjusted logistic regression, TDF treatment with nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors and/or didanosine was associated with the emergence of K65R, whereas the presence of any of the thymidine analogue mutations D67N, K70R, T215F, or K219E/Q was protective.
Silent mutations at codons 65 and 66 in reverse transcriptase alleviate indel formation and restore fitness in subtype B HIV-1 containing D67N and K70R drug resistance mutations.

Abstract: A history of monotherapy or dual therapy, accumulation of three or more key DRMs in the HIV-1 polymerase, and/or the presence of substitutions K70R or T215F/Y were associated with shorter time off therapy during GTI.
Abstract: Multivariate analyses adjusted by nadir CD4(+) counts supported the presence of DRMs in plasma HIV-1 RNA, and specifically the K70R or T215F/Y, as potent predictors of time off therapy.
Abstract: Regardless of the number of DRMs, the presence of K70R or T215F/Y predicted the shortest TI time.
Connection domain mutations N348I and A360V in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enhance resistance to 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine through both RNase H-dependent and -independent mechanisms.

Introduction: This region includes polymerase domain mutations M41L, D67N, K70R, L210W, T215F/Y, and K219Q/E, which are referred to as thymidine analogue-associated mutations (TAMs).
Result: Furthermore, A360V was highly correlated with various mutations considered to be part of the TAMs cluster; for example, of the samples with A360V, 35% were associated with M41L, 21% with D67N, 30% with K70R, 17% with L210W, 42% with T215Y/F, and 17% with K219Q/E
Phylogenetic and genetic analysis of feline immunodeficiency virus gag, pol, and env genes from domestic cats undergoing nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor treatment or treatment-naive cats in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Abstract: These signatures were comparable to K65R and K70R thymidine-associated mutations found in the HIV-1 HXB2 counterpart.
Abstract: This finding strongly suggests a position correlation between the mutations found in FIV and the K65R and K70R substitutions from drug-resistant HIV-1 strains.
Antiretroviral drug resistance surveillance among drug-naive HIV-1-infected individuals in Gauteng Province, South Africa in 2002 and 2004.
Abstract: Of these, one had T69D and one had the K70R resistance mutation, to give a total of 2/48 (4.2%) participants with evidence of resistance mutations by genotyping.

Abstract: The most prevalent mutations were T69D/N (15%), K70R (15%), and M184V (10%).
Mechanistic basis of zidovudine hypersusceptibility and lamivudine resistance conferred by the deletion of codon 69 in the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase coding region.
Abstract: Common mutational patterns involve the deletion of Asp67 (Delta 67) and mutations such as K70R and T215F or T215Y, or the deletion of Thr69 (Delta 69) and mutations of the Q151M complex.
Minority HIV-1 drug resistance mutations are present in antiretroviral treatment-naive populations and associate with reduced treatment efficacy.
Abstract: Eight validated real-time PCR-based assays were used to test for minority drug resistance mutations (protease L90M and reverse transcriptase M41L, K70R, K103N, Y181C, M184V, and T215F/Y) above naturally occurring frequencies.
Result: As was seen with the wild-type virus group, the TAMs M41L and K70R were the most common low-frequency mutations.
Result: Four samples (2% overall) had the following mutations to two drug classes: L90M+M184V, L90M+Y1
