Global Spread of SARS-CoV-2 Subtype with Spike Protein Mutation D614G is Shaped by Human Genomic Variations that Regulate Expression of <i>TMPRSS2</i> and <i>MX1</i> Genes
2020-05-05
Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 pandemic is a major human tragedy. Worldwide, SARS-CoV-2 has already infected over 3 million and has killed about 230,000 people. SARS-CoV-2 originated in China and, within three months, has evolved to an additional 10 subtypes. One particular subtype with a non-silent (Aspartate to Glycine) mutation at 614 th position of the Spike protein (D614G) rapidly outcompeted other pre-existing subtypes, includin...
