Proposal for a new sub-lineage of B.1 with spike substitutions N440K and E484K #44

Closed nsierropmi closed 3 years ago

nsierropmi commented 3 years ago

Description Sub-lineage of: B.1 Earliest sequence: 2021-01-16 Most recent sequence: 2021-03-07 Countries circulating: Cameroon, Switzerland, France, Germany, England, Belgium, USA

This proposed sub-lineage was first identified in Switzerland from patients returning from Cameroon and their direct contacts. It was subsequently also detected in Cameroon, France, Germany, England, Belgium, USA. This proposed sub-lineage is characterised by the spike protein amino acid mutations N440K and E484K in the RBD (as well as I210T, A879S, D936N, S939F and T1027I).
