ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To clarify whether next-generation sequencing (NGS) can be useful for resistance assessment in virologically suppressed highly treatment-experienced (HTE) individuals with MDR HIV.METHODS:
Ninety-one participants from the PRESTIGIO Registry were included. NGS was performed on HIV-DNA at 1%, 5% and 20% cut-offs; major drug resistance mutations (DRMs) were evaluated and compared with those detected in historical plasma genotypic resistance testing (h-GRT). APOBEC editing was also characterized.RESULTS:
Participants had a complex and long treatment history [median 23 (IQR 21-25) years of ART exposure) and had been virologically suppressed since a median of 3 (IQR 2-5) years. Among all major DRMs detected by HIV-DNA NGS and/or h-GRT, 30% were exclusively found through NGS. The highest detection rate of historical major DRMs was reached with NGS set at 1%, but unusual substitutions and extensive APOBEC hypermutations suggest technical issues and poor clinical relevance in the 1%-5% interval. At NGS set at 5%, 67.2% of historical major DRMs were detected. The number of major DRMs detected exclusively by DNA-NGS as minority variants (frequency 5%-20%) was significantly higher in individuals who later experienced virological rebound compared with those who maintained virological control [median 2 (IQR 1-3) versus 1 (0-2), Pâ=â0.030] and positively correlated with viraemia levels at rebound (rhoâ=â0.474, Pâ=â0.030).CONCLUSIONS:
In non-viraemic people with an MDR virus, HIV-1 DNA NGS set at 5% is an acceptable technical cut-off that might help to reveal mutations with a potential clinical relevance. Moreover, the number of minority resistance mutations additionally detected by NGS might be associated with loss of virological control.
