    Snippet: Conventional direct sequencing of RT-PCR products (referred to as "population sequencing") is the gold standard in HIV resistance testing and is used to detect drug-resistance mutations in the molecular targets of HIV-1 therapy, i.e., reverse transcriptase, protease, integrase, and V3 loop of the HIV env gene.

    Document: Conventional direct sequencing of RT-PCR products (referred to as "population sequencing") is the gold standard in HIV resistance testing and is used to detect drug-resistance mutations in the molecular targets of HIV-1 therapy, i.e., reverse transcriptase, protease, integrase, and V3 loop of the HIV env gene. A major limitation of direct PCR sequencing, however, is its inability to detect drug-resistant variants present in less than 20-25% of the heterogeneous virus population existing in a patient's plasma sample [96] . Several studies have shown that minor drug-resistant variants that are not detected by population-based sequencing are clinically relevant in that they are often responsible for the virological failure of a new antiretroviral treatment regimen [97] [98] [99] .
