Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> ANDV, agent of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome, enters through integrin cell protein. A change from leucine-to-proline at residues 33 in the PSI-domain (L33P) inhibits ANDV recognition. We assessed the association between this human-variant and ANDV infection. Results We defined susceptible genotype to “TT” (coding leucine) and protective “CC” (coding proline). TT was in 89.2% (66/74) o...
