Abstract excerpt
Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3), a crucial effector of the host's innate immune system, prohibits an extensive range of viruses. Previous studies have reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IFITM3 gene are associated with the expression level and length of the IFITM3 protein and can impact susceptibility to infectious viruses and the severity of infection with these...
