Result: Five well-characterized missense mutations, D614G (23403A>G)-S gene, Q57H (25563G>T)-ORF3a gene, P323L (14408C>T):ORF1ab/RdRP gene, R203K (28881G>A):N gene, and G204R (28883G>C):N gene, were initially targeted as proof-of-principle of our methodology to perform the analysis and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 mutations/strains in wastewater samples.

Viruses
Discussion: This included T85I in the nsp2 gene, P423L in the nsp12 gene, D614G in the S gene, and Q57H in the ORF3a gene.
Molecular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 from Bangladesh: implications in genetic diversity, possible origin of the virus, and functional significance of the mutations.
Discussion: One study mentioned that the Q57H mutation in ORF3a protein may decrease ion permeability by creating a tighter constriction in channel pore and possibly decrease viral release and immune response (Ul Alam et al.).
Discussion: Our analysis suggested the Q57H decreases protein stability with altered protein function may result in loss of a CD4+ T Cell epitope similar to other studies.
Discussion: There two other functionally significant mutations which are Q57H in ORF3a and S194L in N protein.
Higher entropy observed in SARS-CoV-2 genomes from the first COVID-19 wave in Pakistan.
Result: The most frequent variants were observed at positions 5' UTR; 241C>T (78.8%), S gene D614G (76%) Orf1ab; Nsp3 924F (74%), Orf1ab; RdRp P4715L (72%), Orf3a&nbs
Discussion: The most common non-synonymous variants observed were S D614G, Orf1ab RdRp gene P4715L and, Orf3a Q57H which have previously been reported from Europe and the United States.
Evolution, Mode of Transmission, and Mutational Landscape of Newly Emerging SARS-CoV-2 Variants.
Abstract: Such changes which are common for both global dataset without Indian and dataset of exclusive Indian sequences are R203M in Nucleocapsid for 20B, T85I and Q57H in NSP2 and ORF3a respectively for 20C while for exclusive Indian sequences such unique changes are A97V in RdRp, G339S and G339C in NSP2 in 19A and Q57H in ORF3a in 20A.
Genomic analysis of early transmissibility assessment of the D614G mutant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in travelers returning to Taiwan from the United States of America.
Result: In addition to the S-protein D614G mutation, other missense mutations were identified in NSP12 (RNA dependent RNA polymerase; RdRp) with a P323L mutation, a T85I mutation in NSP2, and a Q57H mutation in ORF3a protein.

Clinico-Genomic Analysis Reveals Mutations Associated with COVID-19 Disease Severity: Possible Modulation by RNA Structure.
Result: The Q57H mutation of ORF3a was seen in more than 50% of the isolates (Table 2).

Infection, genetics and evolution
Result: In addition, very high rate recurrent mutations exist at the following locations: spike protein; D614G, nucleocapsid phosphoprotein; S194L, R203K and G204R, ORF3a; Q57H and G251V, and ORF8; L84S.
Result: The 78% viral samples bearing the D614G and P4715L mutations also bears either the concurrent N protein R203K and G204R or the ORF3a Q57H muta
