mice trace severe covid-19 to faulty genes and autoimmune condition
these findings provide compelling evidence that the disruption of type i interferon is often the cause of life-threatening covid-19, says jean-laurent casanova, head of the st. giles laboratory of human genetics of infectious diseases at the rockefeller university and a howard hughes medical institute investigator.", "covid-19 may now be the best understood acute infectious disease in terms of having a molecular and genetic explanation for nearly 15 percent of critical cases across diverse ancestries, casanova says.", 


































"genetics of covid-19 outliers the way sars-cov-2 affects people differently has been puzzling.", "science inborn errors of type i ifn immunity in patients with life-threatening covid-19 zhang q. et al.", "whether the proteins have been neutralized by so-called auto- antibodies, or were not produced in sufficient amounts in the first place due to a faulty gene, their missing-in-action appears to be a common theme among a subgroup of covid-19 sufferers whose disease has thus far been a mystery.")
