naturally occurring variants in the absence of therapy

77
Q

what are polymorphic mutations not associated with

A

decreased susceptibility to antiretrovirals

78
Q

A

amino acid substitutions (point mutations) which confer reduced susceptibility to one or more antiretrovirals posing a survival advantage for the virus

79
