Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 varies considerably, ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe disease and even death. This variability can partly be attributed to genetic differences in genes associated with inflammation and immune responses. Among these genes, Interferon Induced with Helicase C Domain 1 (IFIH1), which codes for a cytoplasmic sensor, plays a crucial role in detecting SARS-CoV-2...
