Genetic Association of ACE2 rs2285666 Polymorphism With COVID-19 Spatial Distribution in India
25 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Studies on host-pathogen interaction have identified human ACE2 as a host cell receptor responsible for mediating infection by coronavirus (COVID-19). Subsequent studies have shown striking difference of allele frequency among Europeans and Asians for a polymorphism rs2285666, present in ACE2. It has been revealed that the alternate allele (TT-plus strand or AA-minus strand) of rs2285666 elevate the expression...
