Abstract: Insertions (P459Ins) within
p6 protein, leading to partial or complete duplication of the PTAPP motif, were significantly associated with a decreased VR (P459Ins versus wild-type; -0.3 +/- 0.8 vs -1.1 +/- 1.2 log copies/ml, P=0.007) and were more frequent when the
V82A/F/T/S PR mutation was present (P=0.020).
