Result: We identified Q57H on ORF3a in 184 out of 386 (47.6%) samples; we also found and R203K, R203R, G204R on N gene, in 74 (19.1%), 72 (18.7%), and 72 (18.7%) out of 386 cases, respectively.
Discussion: Discussion: Of those, we reported here the following four: Q57H on ORF3a, and R203K, R203R, G204R on N gene.
Discussion: The frequency of Q57H hotspot mutation on ORF3a has been rated among the top three in the United States (top six around the world).

Introduction: G251V and Q57H exhibit severe virulence property.Viral infection consists of several steps starting from viral entry, intracellular trafficking, replication, assembly and then release of the viral particles.
Introduction: The mutation patterns of ORF3a gene have been characterized as largely non-synonymous and increasingly deleterious (Q57H, H93Y, R126T, L127I, W128L, L129F, W131C, D155Y, D173Y, G196V, and G251V).

Whole-Genome Sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 Strains from Asymptomatic Individuals in India.
Result: As shown, mutation, i.e.,Q57H in the genomic region that have good uniform sequencing coverage in both assays, was consistently picked up by both short (Panel 3A) as well as long-amplicon data (Panel 3B).
Figure: Blue solid arrows point to examples of three mutations, Q57H, G172V and A2A mutations.

Result: In these SARS-COV2 isolates, a signature Q57H substitution in ORF3 protein was observed in 23 out of 50 samples which is the second frequent mutation in these Pakistani isolates.
Result: The Q57H substitution in ORF3 co-occurs with two other amino acids mutations K21 N and T223I, in isolates MW447644.1, MW447642.1 respectively.
Result: The accessory protein the ORF3A has one mutation hotspot Q57H (63%).
Result: The prevalence of Q57H substitution in ORF3 protein was reported relatively high (62.7%) in South Africa.
Result: This substitution of Q57H was first reported in Singapore and occurred in 70% of US Covid-19 cases.

Reduced levels of convalescent neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 B.1+L249S+E484K lineage.
Result: Regarding B.1.111 isolates, although both share the mutation pattern characteristic of the B.1.111 lineage (Spike D614G, NS3 Q57H and NSP12 P323L), several divergent genome wide mutations were observed between those isolates, for example, EPI_ISL_794659 have two additional mutations at the S protein (Spike T859I and W152R) (Table 1).

Identification of genotypic variants and its proteomic mutations of Brazilian SARS-CoV-2 isolates.
Result: The most common amino acid substitutions across lineages were S:D614G, NSP12:P323L, NSP2:T85I, and NS3:Q57H.
Discussion: The most common amino acid substitutions were extra-spike and included stable changes (eg, NS3:Q57H) and changes that increased (multiple NSP3 and NS8 changes).

Introduction: Earliest samples from the USA appeared to have been derived from China and belonged to basal or L84S clades, while subsequent infected samples associated with European clades, such as D614G/Q57H.
