Result: T205I is a common
N gene mutation in global consensus sequences, at 42.9% prevalence, making the co-occurrence of
D399N and
T205I a relatively rare event at only 0.16% of total
T205I mutations.
Result: Testing of 293T lysates containing
N T205I or
N T205I/
D399N on the Quidel Sofia 2 antigen test confirmed this finding with the antigen test exhibiting an approximately 1000-fold reduced sensitivity between lysates containin
Result: Whole genome sequencing revealed two coding mutations in the
N gene,
T205I and
D399N.
