FURIN gene variants (rs6224/rs4702) as potential markers of death and cardiovascular traits in severe COVID‐19
30 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Furin is a protease that plays a key role in the infection cycle of SARS-CoV-2 by cleaving the viral proteins during the virus particle assembly. In addition, Furin regulates several physiological processes related to cardio-metabolic traits. DNA variants in the FURIN gene are candidates to regulate the risk of developing these traits as well as the susceptibility to severe COVID-19. We genotyped two functional...
