Study of the protective<i>OAS1</i>rs10774671-G allele against severe COVID-19 in Moroccans suggests a North African origin for Neanderthals

2023-08-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The clinical presentation of COVID-19 has shown high variability between individuals, which is partly due to genetic factors. The OAS1/2/3 cluster was found to be strongly associated with COVID-19 severity. We aimed to examine this locus for the occurrence of the critical variant, rs10774671, and its respective haplotype blocks within the Moroccan population. <h4>Methods</h4> The frequency of S...
