According to Thomas Peacock, a scientist at Imperial College London, the subvariant is worth "keeping a close eye" on.
The Bloom Lab at the Fred Hutch research institute, which also flagged the BA.2.75, took to twitter to state that the variant is "worth-tracking" due to "appreciable antigenic change" compared to its parent, BA.2.
"This new #SARSCoV2 Omicron subvariant (BA.2.75) flagged here by @PeacockFlu is worth tracking, as it has appreciable antigenic change relative to its parent BA.2. Key mutations: G446S & R493Q," it said.
