Recognition of HIV-1 subtypes and antiretroviral drug resistance using weightless neural networks

چکیده
This work presents an application of an improved version of the WiSARD weightless neural network in the recognition of different mutation types of HIV-1 and in the determination of antiretroviral drugs resistence. The data set used consists of 1205 gene sequence of the HIV-1 protease of subtypes B, C and F from patients under treatment failure. Experiments performed with the bleaching technique over the WiSARD model under different data representation strategies have shown promising results, both in terms of accuracy and standard deviation.

Drug- Resistance- Associated Mutations and HIV Sub-Type Determination in Drug-Naïve and HIV-Positive Patients under Treatment with Antiretroviral Drugs
Abstract Background and Objective: Resistance to antiretroviral agents is a significant concern in clinical management of HIV-infected individuals. Resistance is the result of mutations that develops in the viral protein targeted by antiretroviral agents. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the blood samples of 40 HIV-positive patients were collected. Twenty of them were d...

Abstract Background and Objective: Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) can effectively prevent the progression of HIV-1 replication and increase life expectancy. There are numerous causes of treatment failure and the leading one is drug resistance. Thus, we aimed to determine the HIV RT gene drug resistance mutations in patients treated with antiretroviral medications. Material...

Although phenotypic resistance testing provides more direct measurement of antiretroviral drug resistance than genotypic testing, it is costly and time-consuming. However, genotypic resistance testing has the advantages of being simpler and more accessible, and it might be possible to use the data obtained for predicting quantitative drug susceptibility to interpret complex mutation combination...
متن کاملAre subtype differences important in HIV drug resistance?
The diversity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has given rise to multiple subtypes and recombinant strains. The majority of research into antiretroviral agents and drug resistance has been performed on subtype B viruses, yet non-subtype B strains are responsible for 90% of global infections. Although it seems that combination antiretroviral regimens are effective against all HIV-1...

BACKGROUND After rapid scaling up of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1-infected patients, the data of primary HIV-1 drug resistance in Thailand is still limited. This study aims to determine the prevalence and associated factors of primary HIV-1 drug resistance in Thailand. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted among antiretroviral-naïve HIV-1-infected Thai patients from 2007 ...
