Abstract

A mutation consisting of an aspartate codon insertion between positions 69 and 70 in the beta3-beta4 connecting loop of the reverse transcriptase fingers subdomain leads to strong drug resistance by HIV. Resistance to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors is most likely but the mutation can co-exist with mutations conferring resistance to other AIDS drugs.
