Why? Why?
…with the method of direct sequencing only virus populations ≥ 20% can be detected. …it is important to detect mutations as soon as possible to avoid early virological failure … to know more about the evolution of viral strains under changing drug conditions (e.g treatment interruption or transmitted resistance). ….in drug classes with a low genetic barrier such as NNRTIs one mutation (e.g K103N) is enough for drug failure.

characteristics:
common reverse transcriptase mutation against non-nucleosidic-reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) for this drug class with a very low genetic barrier one mutation is sufficient to cause drug failure reported by Lecossier et al. a minority population with a K103N can get dominant under a treatment with EFV or NVP and leads to inefficacy of these drugs

patients collective:
163 therapy naïve patients from the RESINA cohort 127 patients with HIV-1 subtype B 26 patients with HIV-1 non-B subtype Characteristics population based sequencing: no K103N detectable 11 patients with NRTI associated mutations (6,7%) 8 patients with a revertant at position 215 2 patients with NNRTI mutations (1,2%)

Overall unexpected high prevalence of K103N in therapy- naïve patients Difference in HIV-1 subtypes? subtype B: 16% vs subtype non Bs: 40% Is this resistant minority relevant for the first line treatment? No data at the moment-further analysis could show this

- 1. sample: baseline genotype revertant RT T215C only
- 2. sample: negative result
- 3. sample: after failure - protease V82A and RT M41L,
T215C/Y and M184V could be detected treatment: AZT, 3TC, LPV/r

Summary Summary
- verall unexpected high prevalence of K103N in therapy- naïve
patients of 21% was found difference in resistant minority populations K103N in HIV-1 subtype B (16%) vs. non B subtype (40%) case report of a therapy naïve patient failing his first line regimen with AZT, 3TC and LPV: Detection of a transmitted minority population with a V82A and assumed transmitted NRTI mutations M41L, T215Y and M184V lead to virological failure
