We report the strategy leading to the first detection of variant of concern 202012/01 (VOC) in France (21 December 2020). First, the spike (S) deletion H69-V70 (ΔH69/ΔV70), identified in certain SARS-CoV-2 variants including VOC, is screened for. This deletion is associated with a S-gene target failure (SGTF) in the three-target RT-PCR assay (TaqPath kit). Subsequently, SGTF samples are whole genome sequenced. This approach revealed mutations co-occurring with ΔH69/ΔV70 including S:N501Y in the VOC.
我们报告了在法国首次检测到 202012/01 变异株(VOC)的策略(2020 年 12 月 21 日)。首先,筛选出某些 SARS-CoV-2 变异株中存在的刺突(S)缺失 H69-V70(ΔH69/ΔV70),包括 VOC。这种缺失与三靶 RT-PCR 检测(TaqPath 试剂盒)中的 S 基因靶标失败(SGTF)有关。随后,对 SGTF 样本进行全基因组测序。该方法揭示了与 ΔH69/ΔV70 同时发生的突变,包括 VOC 中的 S:N501Y。
