Abstract: In parallel, we identify organ-specific SARS-CoV-2 genome diversity and mutations of concern
N501Y,
T1027I, and
Y453F, while the patient had died long before reported emergence of VOCs.
Result: Similar to the
N501Y mutation, we identified the
C24642T (
T1027I amino acid substitution) mutation in
S, present in current strains of the Gamma GH/501Y.V3 [P1] lineage, at peaking concentrations of 50% in lungs and plasma, as well as in their viral offspring in Vero E6 cells.
