Abstract: Their genotyping performed on RNA extracts highlighted the presence of del69/70,
N501Y,
A570D, and
1841A > G (
D614G) sequence variants, all indicative of VOC 202012/01-lineage B.1.1.7, suggesting a common source of infection.
Result: The genotyping performed first by Real-time PCR and then confirmed by direct sequencing proved the presence of del69/70,
N501Y,
A570D, and
1841A > G (
D614G) variants, indicative of VOC 202,012/01-lineage B.
