MAJOR MUTATIONS: Mutations that are associated with high levels of phenotypic resistance or clinical evidence for reduced virological response.
Those in bold red are associated with the highest levels of phenotypic resistance or with the strongest clinical evidence for reduced virological response.
Underlined mutations are potential contraindications to the use of the indicated PIs when other alternatives are available.
Positions 30, 32, 46, 47, 48, 50, 54, 82, and 84 are in or near (positions 46, 47, and 54) the substrate cleft.
(Jacobsen 95; Partaledis 95; Condra 96; Carrillo 98; Patick 98; Schapiro 99; Atkinson 00; Gong 00; Scott 00; Maguire 02a; Parkin 03; Colonno 04; Doyon 05; Kagan 05; Vermeiren 07; De Meyer 08a; Marcelin 08; Sista 08; Van Marck 09; Llibre 10; Rhee 10; Schapiro 10).
Positions 76, 88, and 90 interfere with PI susceptibility indirectly (Patick 98; Atkinson 00; Mahalingam 01; Malan 08; Rhee 10; Louis 11).
COMMON RELATIVELY NONPOLYMORPHIC ACCESSORY MUTATIONS: The most well known include L10IVF, V11I, K20TVI, L23I, L24IF, L33F, K43T, F53L, Q58E, A71VTIL, G73STCA, T74PS, N83D, and L89V (Sevin 00; Kempf 01; Maguire 02a; Parkin 03; Wu 03; Ceccherini-Silberstein 04; Johnston 04; Kagan 06; Kozal 06; De Meyer 08b; Descamps 09; Schapiro 10). These mutations reduce PI susceptibility when they occur in combination with other mutations: L10F contributes reduced susceptibility to PIs except TPV; L10IV are primarily accessory. V11I and L89V emerge during DRV/r therapy and contribute decreased susceptibility to DRV/r, FPR/r, and possibly other PIs K20ITV contributes reduced susceptibility to NFV and possibly other PIs. K20I is the consensus residue for subtype G. L23I contributes to NFV resistance. L24I is selected by IDV/r and LPV/r and contributes reduced susceptibility to each of the PIs except TPV/r and DRV/r. L33F is associated with reduced susceptibility to all PIs except IDV/r and SQV/r. K43T is associated with reduced susceptibility to all PIs. F53L are important accessory mutations for ATV/r and SQV/r but may affect other PIs. Q58E, T74P, and N83D are selected by multiple PIs but have only been shown to be associated with a decreased virological response to TPV/r. G73STCA are important accessory mutations for ATV/r and SQV/r particularly in combination with L90M. However, like A71VTIL, these mutations appear to be selected by or contribute decreased susceptibility to each of the PIs. L10IV and A71VT occur in up to 5% of PI-naive viruses, L33F and V11I occur in ~1% of PI-naive viruses, K20I and T74S occur commonly in other subtypes.
RARE VARIANTS AT KNOWN DRUG-RESISTANCE POSITIONS: L10RY, V11L, M46V, G48ASTLQ, F53Y, I54S, V82MC, I84AC, N88TG, and V89T (Camacho 05; Baxter 06; Mo 07; Vermeiren 07; Shahriar 09; Rhee 10);
NON-POLYMORPHIC PI-SELECTED MUTATIONS AT POSITIONS NOT GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS PI-RESISTANCE POSITIONS: Nonpolymorphic mutations that occur significantly more frequently in PI-experienced compared with PI-naive patients: A22V, E34Q, E35G, K55RN, I66FVL, C67FL, V75I, P79ASD, I85V, T91S, Q92K, and C95F (Carrillo 98; Parkin 03; Wu 03; Ceccherini-Silberstein 04; Svicher 05; Kagan 06; Margerison 08; Shahriar 09).
COMMON HIGHLY POLYMORPHIC COMPENSATORY MUTATIONS: K20R, M36I, I62V, L63P, V77I, and I93L. These mutations compensate for the decreased fitness associated with major PI-resistance mutations (Condra 95; Molla 96; Schock 96; Mammano 98; Martinez-Picado 99; Nijhuis 99; Martinez-Picado 00; Hoffman 03; Clemente 04; Nijhuis 07; Quinones-Mateu 08; Chang 11).
HYPERSUSCEPTIBILITY: I50L increases susceptibility to all PIs except ATV (Weinheimer 05; Sista 08); I50V and I54L increase TPV/r susceptibility (Baxter 06; Schapiro 10); L76V increases ATV, SQV, and TPV susceptibility (Vermeiren 07; Schapiro 10; Wiesmann 11). N88S increases FPV susceptibility (Ziermann 00).
GAG CLEAVAGE AND NON-CLEAVAGE SITE MUTATIONS: Gag cleavage site mutations, particularly those in the 3 region may compensate for the decreased fitness associated with major PI-resistance mutations (Zhang 97; Cote 01; Dauber 02; Maguire 02b; Prabu-Jeyabalan 04; Kolli 06; Verheyen 06; Lambert-Niclot 08b; Knops 10). Other 3 Gag mutations increase Gag-Pol processing, thereby indirectly compensating for decreased fitness associated with PI resistance mutations (Gatanaga 02; Myint 04; Tamiya 04; Nijhuis 07).
GENOTYPIC SUSCEPTIBILITY SCORES: A GSS for DRV/r derived from the POWER trials identified 11 mutations at 10 positions: V11I, V32I, L33F, I47V, I50V, I54LM, G73S, L76V, I84V, L89V (De Meyer 08a; De Meyer 08b; De Meyer 09). T74P was then substituted for G73S in an updated analysis. The DRV/r GSS mutations have generally been reported by others to be the most commonly occurring mutations in patients receiving DRV/r and to be associated with decreased DRV susceptibility (Delaugerre 08; Lambert-Niclot 08a; Van Marck 09; Rhee 10). The weighted GSS for TPV/r derived from clinical trials includes the following mutations: I47V (+4), T74P (+4), V82LT(+4), N83D (+4) Q58E (+3), I84V (+3), M36I (+2), K43T (+2), I54AMV (+2), L10V (1), L33F (1), M46L (+1), L24I (-2), L76V (-2), I50L/V (-4), I54L (-6). Viruses with a total score <=3) are considered susceptible, 3 to 10 intermediate, and >10 resistant (>10) (Baxter 06; Schapiro 10).
INTER-SUBTYPE DIFFERENCES: In several non-B subtypes including C, 01_AE, and G, D30N is less likely to cause NFV resistance than other mutations such as L90M or N88S (Cane 01; Ariyoshi 03; Gonzalez 04; Grossman 04). T74S, which occurs in nearly 10% of subtype C viruses, is also associated with reduced NFV susceptibility (Deforche 06; Vermeiren 07). In subtype B viruses, V82M is a rare 2 base-pair mutation that occurs only in combination with many other PI-resistance mutations (Baxter 06); however, in subtype G viruses (for which the wild type residue at position 82 is I), V82M is caused by a 1-bp mutation that occurs commonly and decreases susceptibility to IDV and possibly other PIs (Camacho 05).
COMMON RELATIVELY NONPOLYMORPHIC ACCESSORY MUTATIONS: The most well known include L10IVF, V11I, K20TVI, L23I, L24IF, L33F, K43T, F53L, Q58E, A71VTIL, G73STCA, T74PS, N83D, and L89V (Sevin 00; Kempf 01; Maguire 02a; Parkin 03; Wu 03; Ceccherini-Silberstein 04; Johnston 04; Kagan 06; Kozal 06; De Meyer 08b; Descamps 09; Schapiro 10).

V11I and L89V emerge during DRV/r therapy and contribute decreased susceptibility to DRV/r, FPR/r, and possibly other PIs K20ITV contributes reduced susceptibility to NFV and possibly other PIs. K20I is the consensus residue for subtype G. L23I contributes to NFV resistance. L24I is selected by IDV/r and LPV/r and contributes reduced susceptibility to each of the PIs except TPV/r and DRV/r. L33F is associated with reduced susceptibility to all PIs except IDV/r and SQV/r. K43T is associated with reduced susceptibility to all PIs. F53L are important accessory mutations for ATV/r and SQV/r but may affect other PIs. Q58E, T74P, and N83D are selected by multiple PIs but have only been shown to be associated with a decreased virological response to TPV/r. G73STCA are important accessory mutations for ATV/r and SQV/r particularly in combination with L90M.

COMMON HIGHLY POLYMORPHIC COMPENSATORY MUTATIONS: K20R, M36I, I62V, L63P, V77I, and I93L.
