Beschreibung:
Understanding the basis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) drug resistance represents a key requirement for individualized HIV patient care. The genotypic data generated to date have already provided significant insight. However, it is clear that the relationship between genotype, phenotype and clinical outcome is complex and still poorly defined. In this review, we describe methods currently available to obtain genotypic data for the HIV-1 proteinase and reverse transcriptase genes. Different sample preparation strategies and DNA sequencing methods are discussed dividing the latter into two categories, those that give sequence information at specific positions and those that provide continuous sequence data for a particular region. In addition, we also address some of the broad biological and technical issues, which must be considered when interpreting the results of these tests and describe the advantages and disadvantages of individual methods.
