Abstract: A novel deletion of residue 69 of the HIV-1
reverse transcriptase (
RT) gene was detected in combination with mutations
V75I/V and
F77L/F in a patient with partial virological response to several antiretroviral drug regimens, including stavudine (D4T), didanosine (DDI), lamivudine (3TC), saquinavir (SQV), and nevirapine (NVP).
