Discussion: A222V is characteristic of clade GV, lineage B.1.177 (GISAID) or 20E.EU1 (Nexstrain), which emerged in the early summer of 2020 in Spain and subsequently spread to multiple locations in Europe, possibly introduced into other countries by summer tourists.
Discussion: The
spike amino acid mutation
A222V is common in SARS-CoV-2 sequences.
Discussion: This mutation has been detected in five sequences found in the Italian regions of Apulia, Abruzzo, and Veneto, and four of these sequences carry the
A222V substitution.
