Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: There appears to be large regional variation for susceptibility, severity, and mortality for COVID-19 infections. Numerous potential factors could explain the wide variability in the number of infections and death among the countries. We examined genetic differences in the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) gene, as its receptor serves as a cellular entry for SARS-CoV-2. At present, there...
