The name of the mutation, del 69-70, or 69-70 del, or other similar notations, refers to the deletion of amino acid at position 69 to 70. The mutation is found in the Alpha variant, and could lead to "spike gene target failure" and result in false negative result in PCR virus test. [270]

The test matches RNA in three locations, and stopped working for the spike gene due to the HV 69–70 deletion—a deletion of the amino acids histidine and valine in positions 69 and 70, respectively [262] —in the spike protein of lineage B.1.1.7. This made preliminary identification easier because it could be better suspected which cases ...
The mutation rate estimated from early cases of SARS-CoV-2 was of 6.54 × 10 −4 per site per year. [86] Coronaviruses in general have high genetic plasticity, [89] but SARS-CoV-2's viral evolution is slowed by the RNA proofreading capability of its replication machinery. [90]
As of June 2022, Omicron had about 50 mutations relative to the Wuhan-Hu-1 or B variant, [125] [126] which is more than any previous SARS-CoV-2 variant. Thirty-two of these pertained to the spike protein, which most vaccines target to neutralise the virus. [127] As of December 2021, many mutations were novel and not found in previous variants. [43]
In May, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that a new coronavirus variant from Singapore was extremely dangerous for children and could result in a third wave in India. From 16 May to 13 June 2021, as well as 22 July 2021 to 10 August 2021; Singapore entered lockdowns , known as "Phase 2 Heightened Alert", similar to 2020.
[2] [135] [142] Carriers for this mutation retain 20%–50% of 21-hydroxylase activity, [144] [145] but are at higher risk of symptoms of androgen excess than carriers of the severe mutations, [146] and had higher adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulated 17OHP, [147] suggesting that the mutant protein V281L enzyme co-expressed with the ...
Mitochondrial DNA usually has 16,569 base pairs (the number can vary slightly depending on addition or deletion mutations) [24] and is much smaller than the human genome DNA which has 3.2 billion base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is transmitted from mother to child, as it is contained in the egg cell.
