Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups and weight gain following switch to integrase strand transfer inhibitor-based antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract

Integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) has been associated with excess weight gain in some adults, which may be influenced by genetic factors. We assessed mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups and weight gain following switch to INSTI-based ART.
