Investigation of drug resistance against protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase inhibitors by next‐generation sequencing in HIV‐positive patients

Abstract: Our aim was to investigate the mutations in protease (PR), reverse transcriptase (RT), and integrase (IN) gene regions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) using a single amplicon via next‐generation sequencing (NGS). The study included plasma samples from 49 HIV‐1‐positive patients, which were referred for HIV‐1 drug resistance testing during 2017. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed after the RNA extraction and one‐step reverse transcription stages. The sequencing of the HIV genome in the… Show more

“…The clinical relationship between HIV minority resistance variants and disease is still inconclusive, but it has been documented that minority resistance variants may lead to the failure of HIV virological treatment ( Gupta et al, 2014 ; Hikichi et al, 2021 ). Population-based studies have proven that NGS can detect a large proportion of low-level variants, while traditional Sanger sequencing cannot detect ( Baxter et al, 2021 ; Tekin et al, 2021 ). Similarly, the same conclusion was obtained in our study.…”

“…If the main treatment component of choice is not suitable for PLWHA, it can be changed to alternative treatment. For example, in pregnant female patients with low CD4+ (≤ 50 cells/µL), PLWHA with comorbid neurocognitive disorders, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, or chronic hepatitis, alternative ART regimens can be considered (Tekin, et al, 2021).…”

“…Sanger sequencing is a population-based method that uses a di-deoxy chain termination chemistry to generate a single consensus sequence representative of the most common bases at each nucleotide position [7]. This, however, means that Sanger sequencing does not reliably detect mutations that are less represented within the viral pool, also known as low-abundance drug-resistant variants (LA-DRVs) [8,9]. Despite that, HIVDR mutations detected by Sanger sequencing have been shown to predict treatment response, making it a reliable method for use in making clinical decisions [10].…”
