  • In the case of 3TC, mutations in RT cause steric hindrance, selectively blocking the incorporation of the inhibitor into the DNA chain without affecting the incorporation of normal DNA building blocks. (acs.org)
  • In these target cells deamination occurs, causing G-to-A mutations (and less often C-to-T mutations) when the dU is copied on the next DNA strand. (natap.org)
  • However, mutations in the viral genome that generate novel variants cause the sensitivity of these molecular tests to decrease and may lead to false-negative results. (who.int)
