Analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 env and gag sequence variants derived from a mother and two vertically infected children provides evidence for the transmission of multiple sequence variants.

Abstract excerpt

In order to investigate the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) from mother-to-child we have examined serial plasma RNA samples obtained from a mother over an eight year period spanning four pregnancies. Child 1 and 2 (born January 1987 and June 1990) were uninfected whilst child 3 and 4 (born July 1992 and February 1994) were HIV positive. Genetic variation was examined within the viral...
