51HYH51Y is a nonpolymorphic mutation that is selected in vitro by EVG and in vivo by RAL (Hatano et al. 2010; Reuman et al. 2010). It minimally reduces EVG susceptibility (Jones et al. 2007; Shimura et al. 2007).
54VIV54I is a minimally polymorphic mutation that has been selected in vitro by RAL (Goethals et al. 2010)
66TAT66A is occasionally selected in vivo by RAL usually in combination with other mutations (Charpentier et al. 2008; Hatano et al. 2010). It minimally reduces EVG but not RAL susceptibility (Goethals et al. 2008; Kobayashi et al. 2008).
66TIT66I is a nonpolymorphic mutation selected by EVG (Shimura et al. 2007; Goethals et al. 2008). T66I decreases EVG susceptibility ~15-fold but does not reduce RAL susceptibility (Shimura et al. 2007; Goethals et al. 2008; Kobayashi et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010).
66TKT66K is associated with markedly decreased EVG susceptibility, moderately decreased RAL susceptibility, and possibly decreased 9572 susceptibility(Kobayashi et al. 2008; Seki et al. 2010).
68LVIL68VI are polymorphic accessory INI-resistance mutations selected in vivo by EVG that contribute to decreased RAL and EVG susceptibility in combination with E92Q (Goodman et al. 2008).
72IIV72I is a highly polymorphic mutation selected in vitro by pre-RAL/EVG INIs. It does not decrease susceptibility INI susceptibility (Fransen et al. 2006; Goethals et al. 2008; Low et al. 2009; da Silva et al. 2010).
74LMRL74MR is a polymorphic accessory INI-resistance mutation selected by RAL (Cooper et al. 2008; Sichtig et al. 2009; Wittkop et al. 2009). It does not decrease INI susceptibility alone but decreases RAL susceptibility in combination with N155H (Kobayashi et al. 2008; Miller et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Reuman et al. 2010).
92EQE92Q is a nonpolymorphic mutation selected by RAL and EVG (Shimura et al. 2007; Goethals et al. 2008; Malet et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Sichtig et al. 2009). It reduces RAL and EVG susceptibility by about 5 and >30-fold, respectively(Shimura et al. 2007; Goethals et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010). E92Q emerged during in vitro passage with 9572, but only minimally reduces 9572 susceptibility (Sato et al. 2009; Sato et al. 2010).
92EVE92V has been reported to emerge during in vitro passage with GS-9160 and to reduce RAL and EVG susceptibility 10 and 40-fold, respectively (Jones et al. 2009)
95QKQ95K is a minimally polymorphic accessory INI-resistance mutation selected in vitro by EVG and in vivo by RAL (Shimura et al. 2007; Merck 2009). By itself it has little if any effect on INI susceptibility (Shimura et al. 2007)
97TAT97A is a polymorphic accessory INI-resistance mutation selected by RAL often in combination with Y143 mutations (Malet et al. 2008; Miller et al. 2008; Canducci et al. 2009; Fransen et al. 2009a; Reuman et al. 2010). It has no effect on INI susceptibility alone but markedly reduces RAL susceptibility in combination with Y143CR it markedly reduces(Fransen et al. 2009a; Reuman et al. 2010).
114HYH114Y is a nonpolymorphic accessory resistance mutation selected in vitro by EVG (Goethals et al. 2008).
121FYF121Y is a nonpolymorphic mutation that is selected in vitro by RAL (Rowley 2008) and EVG (Shimura et al. 2007). It reduces susceptibility to RAL and EVG by about 5 and 10-fold, respectively (Jones et al. 2007; Shimura et al. 2007; Kobayashi et al. 2008). It has not been observed in clinical isolates.
125TKT125K is a nonpolymorphic mutation selected in vitro by L870,810. It has not been selected in vivo with current INIs nor found to decrease their susceptibility (Shimura et al. 2007; Kobayashi et al. 2008; Rowley 2008).
128ATA128T is a nonpolymorphic mutation selected in vitro by EVG but which does not reduce INI susceptibility (Fikkert et al. 2004; Goethals et al. 2008)
138EKAE138KA are nonpolymorphic accessory resistance mutations selected in vitro and in vivo by RAL, EVG, and 9572 usually in combination with Q148 mutations(Hazuda et al. 2007; McColl et al. 2007; Sato et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010). Alone they do not reduce INI susceptibility but in combination with Q148 mutations they reduce RAL and EVG susceptibility >100-fold and 9572 susceptibility >10-fold (Shimura et al. 2007; Goethals et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Seki et al. 2010).
140GSACG140S is a nonpolymorphic mutation that usually occurs with Q148HRK in patients receiving RAL (Charpentier et al. 2008; Canducci et al. 2009; Sichtig et al. 2009; Wittkop et al. 2009; Hatano et al. 2010) and EVG (McColl et al. 2007). By itself it does not reduce INI susceptibility(Jones et al. 2009; Quercia et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010). However, in combination with Q148HRK, it reduces RAL and EVG susceptibility >100-fold and 9572 ~10-fold. G140AC are less well-studied variants that appear to have effects similar to G140S (Jones et al. 2009; Quercia et al. 2009).
143YCRHY143CR are nonpolymorphic mutations selected by RAL (Canducci et al. 2009; Sichtig et al. 2009; Wittkop et al. 2009; Hatano et al. 2010). Alone Y143C and Y143R reduce RAL susceptibility by ~5 and 20-fold respectively but with T97A or other accessory mutations, they reduce RAL susceptibility >100-fold (Fransen et al. 2009a; Reuman et al.). Y143 mutations have no effect on EVG or 9572 susceptibility (DeAnda et al. 2010; Seki et al. 2010). Y143H is a less common mutation at this position that may be primarily transitional.
145PSP145S is a nonpolymorphic mutation that has been selected in vitro by EVG and causes high-level resistance to EVG (Garvey et al. 2008; Kobayashi et al. 2008; Seki et al. 2010).

147SGS147G is a nonpolymorphic mutation selected by EVG (McColl et al. 2007). It reduces EVG susceptibility 5 to 10-fold (Shimura et al. 2007) but has minimal if any effect on RAL susceptibility (Van Baelen et al. 2009).
148QHKRQ148HKR are nonpolymorphic mutations selected by RAL and EVG (McColl et al. 2007; Cooper et al. 2008; Canducci et al. 2009; Sichtig et al. 2009; Wittkop et al. 2009; Hatano et al. 2010). By itself Q148H reduces RAL and EVG susceptibility about 5-10 fold and Q148RK reduce RAL and EVG susceptibility >30-100 fold. With G140S, Q148HRK reduce RAL and EVG susceptibility >100-fold. (Kobayashi et al. 2008; Fransen et al. 2009b; Jones et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010). (McColl et al. 2007; Fransen et al. 2009a; Jones et al. 2009). Q148HKR alone have minimal effects on 9572 susceptibility but cause >10-fold decreased susceptibility in combination with E138K +/- G140S (Seki et al. 2010).

It decreases RAL and EVG susceptibility >20-fold (Kobayashi et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010; Reuman et al. 2010). N155H contributes to 9572 resistance in combination with other INI-resistance mutations (Seki et al. 2010).
155NSN155S is an uncommon nonpolymorphic INI-resistance mutation, selected in vitro by L870,810, that decreases RAL and EVG susceptibility to an extent less than that of N155H (Kobayashi et al. 2008; Jones et al. 2009; Goethals et al. 2010).
