Title: Human ACE2 receptor polymorphisms predict SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility
  • Document date: 2020_4_10
  • ID: jfdshwfh_31
    Snippet: Overall, we find the ACE2 population variants, that either increase or decrease susceptibility, to be rare, which is consistent with the overall low population ACE2 receptor polymorphisms (mean Fst 0.0167). Also, we did not observe significant differences in ACE2 variant allele frequency among population groups. The variant alleles also did not show discernable gender distribution differences, even though ACE2 is a X-linked gene. The SARS-CoV inf.....
    Document: Overall, we find the ACE2 population variants, that either increase or decrease susceptibility, to be rare, which is consistent with the overall low population ACE2 receptor polymorphisms (mean Fst 0.0167). Also, we did not observe significant differences in ACE2 variant allele frequency among population groups. The variant alleles also did not show discernable gender distribution differences, even though ACE2 is a X-linked gene. The SARS-CoV infections and its deadly effects in humans are more recent and thus the pathogenic and protective variants have not been subject to purifying selection and therefore the variants we observe are predictably rare.
