TPVrThis sequence has $numberOfMutsIn{47V,54AMV,58E,74P,82LT,83D} major TPV/r-resistance mutations ($listMutsIn{47V,54AMV,58E,74P,82LT,83D}), $numberOfMutsIn{10V,36I,43T,46L,84V} minor TPV/r-resistance mutations ($listMutsIn{10V,36I,43T,46L,84V}), and $numberOfMutsIn{24I,50LV,54L,76V} mutations associated with increased TPV/r responsiveness ($listMutsIn{24I,50LV,54L,76V}). RESIST study (Baxter J et al J Virology 2006 and Scherer J et al EACS 2007).

$numberOfMutsIn{<list of mutations>} is replaced with the count of mutations present in the sequence and $listMutsIn{<list of mutations>} is replaced with the list of mutations present in the sequence.
For example, a sequence with both 32I and 84V would have a DRV/r comment that reads like "The following 2 of the 11 darunavir/r POWER/DUET study mutations were present: 32I, 84V (DeMeyer S et al, EHDRW 2008)."
