Title: Genetic Variability of Human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (hACE2) Among Various Ethnic Populations Document date: 2020_4_15

Snippet: In conclusion, our results do reveal some differences in genetic polymorphisms between Asians and Caucasians which may potentially alter the binding of the virus to the hACE2 receptor and some subtle variation in genetic expression of hACE2 among different populations. However our findings need to replicated and further in vitro studies should performed, before the significance of these findings can be determined. At present the reasons behind th.....
Document: In conclusion, our results do reveal some differences in genetic polymorphisms between Asians and Caucasians which may potentially alter the binding of the virus to the hACE2 receptor and some subtle variation in genetic expression of hACE2 among different populations. However our findings need to replicated and further in vitro studies should performed, before the significance of these findings can be determined. At present the reasons behind the variability in Covid-19 presentation among the various countries needs to be further explored, as we were unable to provide convincing evidence to suggest there are differences in allele frequency or expression of hACE2 among Caucasians and Asians.
