Abstract Genotypic testing for letermovir (LMV) resistance was performed by Sanger sequencing of cytomegalovirus terminase gene UL56 (codons 202-412) in 1165 diagnostic specimens, disclosing 36 sequence variants among 173 (14.8%) of the specimens, including one or more LMV resistance mutations in 134 specimens. Codon 325 mutations (C325Y/F/W/R) were the most common (108 specimens), followed by those at codon 369 (R369 S/G/T/K, 13 specimens) and V236M (11 specimens). Mutations V231L, N232Y, Q234R, L257F and V363I were detected in 1-3 specimens each. Combinations of codon 325 mutation and those at codons 236 or 369 were found in 6 specimens. Eleven novel sequence variants were phenotyped, validating Q234R, V363I and R369K as conferring 2- to 5-fold increased LMV 50% inhibitory concentrations (EC50). These findings indicate that UL56 codon 325 mutations conferring >3000-fold LMV EC50 are detected much more frequently in clinical practice than those conferring lower grade resistance, and suggest that a single step mutation to absolute LMV resistance is an ongoing concern in its therapeutic use.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
