Discussion: However, mutations like the
RT K103NS, the T215 revertants and the
PI L90M appear to have little effect on viral fitness and may persist for prolonged periods in individ
Discussion: Within the
PI-related DRMs, the same picture emerged, with
M46IL and
D30N predominately seen as minor variants, whereas
L90M (associated with saquinavir resistance), if present, dominated the quasispecies.
Discussion: study, a similar pattern was observed, with the
M46IL and
D30N detected predominately as minor variants while the majority of
L90M mutations occurred above the 20% threshold.
