Abstract A series of frameshift mutations within the 3a gene has been observed in culture-derived severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-CoV . We report here that viral RNA from clinical samples obtained from SARS-CoV infected patients also contains a heterogeneous population of wild-type and mutant 3a transcripts. Findings Introduction Numerous isolates of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-CoV have been completely sequenced 1-4 . In most cases only synonymous or non-synonymous substitutions have been reported within the major viral genes which include replicase 1a 1b gene products spike membrane nucleocapsid and envelope 1-4 . On the other hand large insertions or deletions have been found in the part of .
