  Molecular Epidemiology Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Strains Circulating in Romania during the First Months of the Pandemic.
 PMID: 32823907       2020       Life (Basel, Switzerland)
Result: These mutations, C3037T, C14408T (P323L in Nsp12) and A23403G (D614G in S), were present in all Romanian sequences.
Result: When looking into the GISAID database mutational statistics, which uses hCoV-19/Wuhan/WIV04/2019 EPI_ISL_402124 as a reference strain (COVsurver tool), both P323L and D614G mutations are present in a high percentage (61.7%/61.8%, n = 33480 and n = 33537).
Discussion: A subsequent study reported that A23403G (D614G in S) is becoming prevalent worldwide and associated with severe disease cases.


  miRNA target prediction might explain the reduced transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Jordan, Middle East.
 PMID: 32839745       2020       Non-coding RNA research
Abstract: The exciting findings here that the nucleotide substitution 1841A > G at the viral genomic RNA level, which is an amino acid substation D614G at the spike protein level showed a change in the predicted miRNA sequence from hsa-miR-4793-5p to hsa-miR-3620-3p with an increase in the target score from 91 to 92.
Result: The interesting finding here that the 1841A > G, and D614G showed a change in the predicted miRNA and an increase in the target score from 91 to 92 (hsa-miR-4793-5p to hsa-miR-3620-3p).


  A SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate would likely match all currently circulating variants.
 PMID: 32868447       2020       Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Abstract: We find limited diversity across SARS-CoV-2 genomes: Only 11 sites show polymorphisms in >5% of sequences; yet two mutations, including the D614G mutation in Spike, have already become consensus.
Abstract: While the rapid spread of the D614G mutation warrants further study, our results indicate that drift and bottleneck events can explain the minimal diversity found among SARS-CoV-2 sequences.
Discussion: A mutation, S612L, that emerged in MERS-CoV after passaging the virus in the presence of two antibodies (in 5/15 clones after 20 passages) warrants the evaluation of the analogous D614G mutation in SARS-CoV-2 for its ability to interfere with the recognition of a distal epitope.


  SARS-CoV-2 genomic and quasispecies analyses in cancer patients reveal relaxed intrahost virus evolution.
 PMID: 32869023       2020       bioRxiv
Result: Four genetically linked mutations previously described as the globally dominant haplotype in April 2020 were found in the majority of our consensus sequences: C241T (100%; 5'UTR region), C3037T (98.6%; silent mutation), C14408T (100%; resulting in P4715L/P323L amino acid change in ORF1ab) and A23403G (100%; resulting in D614G amino acid change in S).
Discussion: As expected, the P323L change in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), genetically linked to D614G, was also found


  Genomic surveillance of Nevada patients revealed prevalence of unique SARS-CoV-2 variants bearing mutations in the RdRp gene.
 PMID: 32869037       2020       medRxiv
Result: 20A is a derivative of 19A and contains mutations C3037T, C14408T and A23403G (resulting in D614G).
Result: A total of 173 cases were analyzed to determine the number and relative proportion of the specimens which carried the Discussion: It is possible that these measures, compounded by potential inherent transmission variability of some viral isolates, influenced the change in the frequency of D614G, clades and P323L/F that we noted during this time period within Nevada.


  Prevalence of Chemosensory Dysfunction in COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Reveals Significant Ethnic Differences.
 PMID: 32870641       2020       ACS chemical neuroscience
Abstract: A virus mutation (D614G) may cause differing infectivity, while at the host level genetic, ethnicity-specific variants of the virus-binding entry proteins may facilitate virus entry in the olfactory epithelium and taste buds.


  Mutation density changes in SARS-CoV-2 are related to the pandemic stage but to a lesser extent in the dominant strain with mutations in spike and RdRp.
 PMID: 32879797       2020       PeerJ
Introduction: Claims of increased transmissibility of this new strain due to spike D614G mutation by were met with caution, as other factors such as founder effect, drift etc.
Introduction: However, animal studies will be required to further test the effects of the D614G mutation to reach a more definitive conclusion.
Introduction: Our previous study suggested that RdRp 14408 C>T mutation is associated with SARS-CoV-2 genome evolution and could even be working synergistically with the 23403 A>G (D614G) mutation.


  Mutations in SARS-CoV-2 Leading to Antigenic Variations in Spike Protein: A Challenge in Vaccine Development.
 PMID: 32884216       2020       Journal of laboratory physicians
Table: D614G
Figure: Two Major clades A and B are formed due to the most prevalent mutations D614G.
Discussion: Out of 88 SNP clusters, D614G was found in 34 (38.6%) SARS-CoV-2 genomes.


  Genomic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 identified in a reemerging COVID-19 outbreak in Beijing's Xinfadi market in 2020.
 PMID: 32895643       2020       Biosafety and health
Introduction: Although there is no evidence from available epidemiological and clinical data that the mutation of S protein D614G leads to increased pathogenicity or virulence of the virus, whether the transmission of the virus is enhanced still needs to be examined by systematic global assessment.
Introduction: Finally, we also need to note whether the epidemic of D614G mutant SARS-CoV-2 is random or naturally selected, as the virus is circulating globally at present.
Introduction: In a recent study, researchers found that a D614G mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 genome enhances the virus's ability to infect human


  BioAider: An efficient tool for viral genome analysis and its application in tracing SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Introduction: Recently, 7 substitution hotspots in SARS-CoV-2, ORF1ab-G10818T (ORF1ab-L3606F), ORF1ab-C8517T, ORF3a-G752T (ORF3a-G251V) S-A1841G (D614G), G171T (Q57H), ORF8-T251C (ORF8-L84S) and N-GGG608_609_610AAC (N-RG203_204KR) have been reported.
Table: D614G
Discussion: The latest study has discovered the strain with substitution of S-D614G could increases the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2.
