Abstract: In addition, at six positions (positions 7, 46, 62, 71, 90, and 99), the amino acid variability or the amino acid frequencies or both differed significantly in
PI-treated and untreated patients, suggesting that mutations 7K-->R,
46V-->I, 62V-->A/T,
71V-->I,
90L-->M and 99L-->F were occurring under
PI-selective pressure.
