Abstract
The predictive value of three genotypic methods to determine HIV-1 co-receptor usage was assessed in 83 plasma specimens taking as reference the results obtained using a recombinant phenotypic assay (Phenoscript). The best concordance was found for webPSSM, followed by geno2pheno and wetcat (85.9, 71.8 and 70.5%, respectively). Less than 5.1% of phenotypic X4 viruses were missed by genotypic tools. The genotypic prediction of HIV-1 co-receptor usage can thus assist therapeutic decisions for using CCR5 antagonists.Entities:
