Potential sub-lineage of BA.2 with S:K417T and nuc:C23248T in UK/Ireland (900 seq) #528
Comments
Nice catch, this was also found by the model built by @bitbyte2015 , initiallt thought for recombinants, but that seems good in rapid discovery of growing lineages. |
626 seqs as today |
Oh interesting, convergent evolution with #540 which is a really successful BA.3 lineage with S:417T (Gamma mutation!) Thanks @olias120676 this is a good find - especially the combination of RBD mutation and growth. However, could you please not use plain growth advantage but use the advanced growth advantage against a BA.2* background? Any BA.2* will have 30% growth advantage simply because it's BA.2*. Also please filter to the country with the highest share - in this case UK. This is how you should query growth advantage: I had a closer look: the mutation ORF7a:S83L should not be required for this lineage - it's likely not source of growth advantage and only appears in 70% of this lineage as a passenger. However synonymous mutation nuc:C23248T is defining - to distinguish from other kinds of BA.2 with S:417T. Lineage is present in Ireland, too where it makes up an even larger share than in UK: First detection was end of January (if you don't use the unimportant ORF7a:S83L as requirement). Usher tree clusters these well, although the path is a bit murky - but @AngieHinrichs may fix this. Definitely should be designated @chrisruis I'll have a look at another S:417T that seems to have popped up in UK - maybe it comes from somewhere else. |
@corneliusroemer great work on S:417T i disagree on Orf7a::83L. |
I just rediscovered this lineage. Was about to propose but then found it again. @chrisruis could you have a look at designating this one? It has now also been imported into the US and France and keeps growing. It is reasonable that S:417T could help with immune escape. |
Thanks @olias120676 We've added this as BA.2.18 to start on the branch with A22812C (S:N417T) which is likely the first nonsynonymous mutation in this introduction(s) into the UK |
Sub lineage of BA.2 with 517 sequences in UK
Contains
S:K417T
A22812C, C23248T
Earliest sequence 2022-02-19 England/ALDP-37C4703/2022
Edit by @corneliusroemer: 70% contains ORF7a:S83L, but there's significant circulation without this mutation
Fairly large potential growth advantage at this stage
