Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A common TMPRSS2 variant has a protective effect against severe COVID-19. Curr Res Transl Med. 2022 May; 70(2):103333.
Detailed explanation-2: -Targeted genome editing, often called CRISPR/Cas9, is increasingly recognized as an effective tool in medicine (Bawage et al., 2018; Freije et al., 2019). It can inactivate the SARS-CoV2 virus in mammalian cells by truncating the specific sequence of the virus.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Neandertal haplotype on chromosome 12 is protective for severe disease in the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It is present in populations in Eurasia and the Americas at carrier frequencies that often reach and exceed 50%.
