Recurrent emergence and transmission of a SARS-CoV-2 spike deletion H69/V70
2020-12-14
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 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 report that in human infections ΔH69/V70 often co-occurs with the receptor bind...
