Method: A subset of the
NRTI-associated SDRMs were classified as thymidine analogue mutations (TAMs) including
M41L,
D67N/G,
K70R,
L210W,
T215Y/F,
Discussion: Although the spectrum of
NRTI-associated SDRMs was diverse, >80% of
NRTI TDR cases were caused by TAMs, of which those other than
T215Y/F may have little impact on currently used
NRTIs.
Discussion: The rarity of
K65R, other less common TDF-associated mutations, and the primary TAMs
T215Y/F indicates that transmitted TDF resistance is unusual.
