Result: Four mutations T69D (NRTI), K103N/S (NNRTI), M46I/L (PI) and L90M (PI) showed significantly different percentages in different subtypes (p < 0.05) (Table 1).

Highly drug-resistant HIV-1 protease reveals decreased intra-subunit interactions due to clusters of mutations.
Result: Another study on single mutants V32I, L33F, L76V, and L90M showed how remote mutations can impact inhibitor binding by altering protein ensemble dynamics through a rearranged network of residues circulating to the active site.

Result: The most frequent PI mutations included M46I/L and L90M.
Resistance profile of the HIV-1 maturation inhibitor GSK3532795 in vitro and in a clinical study.
Method: Participants with a history of genotypic/phenotypic drug resistance to protease inhibitors (PIs) or with HIV-1 genotypic drug resistance to PIs at baseline (including D30N, M46I/L, I47V/A, G48V, I50L, I54M/L, Q58E, T74P, L76V, V82A/F/L/T/S, N83D, I84V, N88S, or L90M) were excluded, despite any reported effects of PI resistance or resistance
Molecular Genetics and the Incidence of Transmitted Drug Resistance Among Pre-Treatment HIV-1 Infected Patients in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Abstract: Four major protease inhibitor (PI) related mutations (I54V, V82A/L, L76V and L90M) were observed in seven patients while several other minor and accessory PIs were also identified.
Surveillance of transmitted HIV drug resistance among newly diagnosed, treatment-naive individuals at a county HIV clinic in Santa Clara County.
Result: The prevalence of individual PI TDRMs was generally <0.5% except for L90M (1.0%).
Discussion: The low prevalence of PI TDR and the predominance of L90M among PI TDRMs is consistent with other US-based studies.
Switching to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide maintained HIV-1 RNA suppression in participants with archived antiretroviral resistance including M184V/I.

Method: Primary PI-R substitutions were D30N, V32I, M46I/L, I47V/A, G48V, I50V/L, I54M/L, Q58E, T74P, L76V, V82A/F/L/S/T, N83D, I84V, N88S and
Result: PI-R substitutions were observed in 10% (55/543), with M46I/L (4.1%, 22/543) and L90M (2.4%, 13/543) most frequently detected.

Molecular Determinants of Epistasis in HIV-1 Protease: Elucidating the Interdependence of L89V and L90M Mutations in Resistance.
Result: As noted above, however, the presence of the L90M mutation in the NL4-3 background is clearly associated with modulating the dynamics of the flaps.
Result: As was the case with the wild-type protease, our binding assay was not sensitive enough to accurately measure Ki for DRV binding when the L89V and L90M mutations were introduced, whether individually or together.
Result: Consistent with the per-residue Calpha RMSF profiles of the KY variants, NL4-3(L89V), NL43(L90M), and NL4-3(DM) all show a significant increase in flap fluctuations compared to the NL4-3 wild-type.
Result: Contrary to previous reports, and consistent with our previous observations, no changes in the position of D25/D25' were observed due to the presence of the L90M<
Prevalence and persistence of transmitted drug resistance mutations in the German HIV-1 Seroconverter Study Cohort.
Result: For a number of TDRMs, no loss could be observed during the observation period (S1 Table) and, according to their maximal duration of observation, the following TDRMs seem to survive for lengthy periods in the absence of ART: the NRTI resistance mutations D67N (5.9 years), K70R (6.9 years), F77L (10.2 years), T215E (5.9 years) and K219Q (5.9 years), the NNRTI resistance mutations A98G
Discussion: We could not obtain a Kaplan-Meier estimate for L90M, but persistence of L90M was observed in one study patient followed for 8.4 years.
Discussion: who observed persistence of L90M for up to 5.1 years.
