Novel genetic association of the Furin gene polymorphism rs1981458 with COVID-19 severity among Indian populations
2023-01-03
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> SARS CoV-2, the causative agent for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, enters the host cell by activating the ACE2 receptor with the help of two proteases, i.e., Furin and TMPRSS2. Therefore, variations in these genes may account for differential susceptibility and severity between populations. Our previous studies have shown that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 gene variants are essential in understanding COVI...
