Researchers find genetic variations linked to Covid-19 severity
A new study led by researchers from Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) sheds light on the genetic risk
factors that make individuals more or less susceptible to severe
Covid-19.
Thousands of people test positive for the virus each day,
and the reason behind people experiencing mild to no symptoms while
others becoming critically ill is still under the shadow of a doubt.
According to a new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), research led by Robert E. Gerszten, MD, Chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at BIDMC irradiate the key process of Covid-19 which can open new possibilities for the treatment of this disease.
Gerszten, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School shared that different patients
effected by COVID-19 display different symptoms and different degrees
of severity, "Pre-existing conditions, particularly cardiovascular and
metabolic disease, are risk factors for disease severity and outcomes,
the underlying reasons that some people develop the life-threatening
disease while others remain asymptomatic are not well understood."
Findings
published in the NEJM describes the link of COVID-19 outcomes to
variations in two regions of the human genome on the basis of genetic
evidence from patients in China, Europe and the United States. But, to
find about the difference occurring due to the disease, scientists need
to understand the role of the proteins carried by the genome in the
context of disease.
