Citation: "... In this study, 19 patients experienced VR, with 2 patients having virological failure (VF; two consecutive VLs >50 copies/mL). For the first patient with VF, UDS detected minority resistant variants only in RT (K103N, 9.6%; Y181C, 4.9%) at baseline. ... Illumina sequencing technology (MiSeq) was used to study HIV DNA and RNA RT and integrase mutations. RT and integrase mutations were analysed with SmartGene® according to the latest ANRS mutation list (cutoff 1%) http://www.hivfrenchresistance.org/) and by Genious (v10.3.2;  http://www.geneious.com). ..."
