Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 severity and survival are influenced by the host immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1), a key immune checkpoint, regulates T-cell activation and antiviral immune balance. Since genetic variability can modulate these responses, we investigated whether the PDCD1 pol...
