Recurrent Emergence and Transmission of a SARS-CoV-2 Spike Deletion H69/V70
2021-02-05
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 Spike amino acid replacements in the receptor binding domain (RBD) occur relatively frequently and some have a consequence for immune recognition. Here we report recurrent emergence and significant onward transmission of a six-nucleotide out of frame deletion in the S gene, which results in loss of two amino acids: H69 and V70. We show that ๐ซH69/V70 and other common NTD deletions occur at loop structur...
