Abstract: Genomic analysis identified that primoinfection was caused by the endemic lineage B.1.1.33 while reinfection by the lineage B.1.1.44, a lineage with an additional
V1176F mutation in
S protein.
Conclusion: A remarkable difference found in B.1.1.44 is an additional
V1176F substitution besides the highly disseminated
D614G amino acid substitution prevalent worldwide; increased number of mutations in
S protein are also reported in other reinfection episodes (Table 2).
Conclusion: In comparison with the WIV04-sequence, mutations were identified in
S,
N and NSP proteins of both genomes, but reinfection case (lineage B.1.44) presented an additional
V1176F mutation in
S
