Abstract
Aim: A human immunogenetics variation study was conducted in samples collected from diverse COVID-19 populations. Materials & methods: Whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing (WGS/WES), data processing, analysis and visualization pipeline were applied to identify variants associated with genes of interest. Results: A total of 2886 mutations were found across the entire set of 13 genomes. Functional annotation of the gene variants revealed mutation type and protein change. Many variants were found to be biologically implicated in COVID-19. The involvement of these genes was also found in multiple other diseases. Conclusion: The analysis determined that ACE2, TMPRSS4, TMPRSS2, SLC6A20 and FYCOI had functional implications and TMPRSS4 was the gene most altered in virally infected patients.
期刊介绍：
Personalized Medicine (ISSN 1741-0541) translates recent genomic, genetic and proteomic advances into the clinical context. The journal provides an integrated forum for all players involved - academic and clinical researchers, pharmaceutical companies, regulatory authorities, healthcare management organizations, patient organizations and others in the healthcare community. Personalized Medicine assists these parties to shape thefuture of medicine by providing a platform for expert commentary and analysis.
The journal addresses scientific, commercial and policy issues in the field of precision medicine and includes news and views, current awareness regarding new biomarkers, concise commentary and analysis, reports from the conference circuit and full review articles.
