Primary genotypic resistance of HIV-1 to CCR5 antagonists in CCR5 antagonist treatment-naive patients.

Resistance to CCR5 antagonists can be driven by mutations in gp120. Sequences from 323 anti-CCR5 naive patients were analyzed for the presence of previously described in-vivo or in-vitro resistance mutations to CCR5 antagonists located in the V3 loop of gp120. The V3 loop region was rather polymorphic, and 7.
