Abstract excerpt
In humans, the dimeric receptor complex IFNAR2-IFNAR1 accelerates cellular response triggered by type I interferon (IFN) family proteins in response to viral infection including Coronavirus infection. Studies have revealed the association of the IFNAR2 gene with severe illness in Coronavirus infection and indicated the association of genomic variants, i.e. single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However,...
