MARVEL on RT mutations at position 138


HIVdb Algorithm: Comments & Scores
  • E138A is a polymorphism that has been recently added to the list of mutations associated with decreased ETR response in the DUET studies.
  • E138G is a rare mutation that has been reported to emerge in patients with ETR failure. It may contribute to decreased ETR susceptibility in combination with other mutations.
  • E138K is selected in vitro by ETR and reduces its susceptibility by about 5-fold. E138K reduces to susceptibility other NNRTIs by about 2 to 5-fold.
  • E138Q is weakly associated with NNRTI therapy. It may contribute to decreased NNRTI susceptibility in certain genetic contexts.

Genotype-treatment correlation
Mutation frequency according to subtype and drug-class experience.
The frequency of each mutation at position 138 according to subtype and drug-class experience. Data are shown for the 8 most common subtypes. The number of persons in each subtype/treatment category is shown beneath the subtype. Mutations occurring at a frequency >0.5% are shown. Each mutation is also a hyper-link to a separate web page with information on each isolate, including literature references with PubMed abstracts, the GenBank accession number, and complete sequence and treatment records.

Footnote: The query page Mutation Prevalence According to Subtype and Treatment to examine the frequency of all mutations according to subtype and treatment; The program HIVSeq provides similar output for mutations in user-submitted sequences; A complete description of the program that generates these tables can be found at Rhee et al AIDS 2006.
 

Mutation frequency according to treatment with individual ARVs.
The first row shows the frequency of the mutation in persons who are RTI-naive (indicated in green). The second row shows the frequency of the mutation in persons who have received one or more NRTIs (No NNRTIs). The third row shows the frequency of the mutation in persons who have received one or more NNRTIs (+/- NRTIs). The following rows show the frequency of the mutation in persons who have received only a single NNRTI. Mutation rates that differ significantly between treated and untreated isolates are indicated in yellow.

Genotype-phenotype correlation
Phenotypes of top 10 common patterns of drug resistance mutations with mutations at position 138.
Mutation pattern data is not available for E138.

A complete summary of additional in vitro susceptibility data for viruses with E138 obtained using other assays including the Antivirogram can be found here.

 

Phenotypic coefficients using machine learning
Least Square Regression (LSR) was used to learn the relative contribution of each mutation to the fold decrease in susceptibility for an ARV. The figure on the left (click to enlarge the figure) shows the regression coefficients (which correlate with the contribution to resistance) for the 24 nonpolymorphic NNRTI-resistance mutations shown to contribute decreased susceptibility to at least one NNRTI. A complete description of the method that generates this figure can be found at Rhee et al PNAS 2006.

 

Genotype-clinical outcome correlation
Studies correlating baseline genotype and virological response to an ARV therapy with or without mutations at 138.

93% had received >= 1 NNRTI. All had >=1 NNRTI resistance mutation at screening or from a historical genotypeETR vs placeboDRV/RTV + OB4062413 baseline mutations were associated with a decreased response to ETR: V90I, A98G, L100I, K101EP, V106I, V179DF, Y181CIV, G190AS. When 3 or more of these mutations were present, the response to ETR was no different from placebo.

DUET follow-up study
93% had received >= 1 NNRTI. All had >=1 NNRTI resistance mutation at screening or from a historical genotypeETR vs placeboDRV/RTV + OB406243 baseline mutations were identified as associated with a decreased VR (defined by RNA <50 copies/ml) at W24: K101H, E138A and V179T in addition to the 13 (V90I, A98G, L100I, K101EP, V106I, V179DF, Y181CIV, G190AS) in Madruga 2007 study. 77% of patients with none of these 16, 61% patients with one of these 16, 56% with two and 38% with >=3 were associated with a decreased VR.
