81122-4
LaboratoryHIV 1 RNA reverse transcriptase and protease gene [Nucleotide sequence] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Sequencing
Definition
This term is used to report the nucleotide sequence of the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and protease genes based on viral RNA. The specific regions that are sequenced and reporting format may vary by laboratory and local reporting requirements. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the submitter's ViroSeq HIV-1 Genotyping System, which includes generation of a 1.3 kb consensus sequence based on sequencing of the entire protease and two-thirds of the reverse transcriptase genes.
