    A large-scale international collaborative research analysis identified the genetic factors of human neocoronavirus infection and neocorona pneumonia disease severity for the first time, and identified 13 new genomic regions related to susceptibility and disease severity


    The genetic makeup of an individual affects the susceptibility and response to viral infections.


    Studies have shown that factors such as men, heavier weight, and older age will increase the severity of the disease in patients with new coronary pneumonia, but these risk factors alone cannot explain the various changes in the severity of the disease


    Based on these studies, a meta-analysis of the genome-wide associations of patients with new coronary pneumonia has found new loci related to the severity of new coronavirus infection or new coronary pneumonia


    The researchers concluded that this international cooperation has identified new host genetic factors related to the new coronary pneumonia at an unprecedented speed, and will continue to collect data to bring the scale and diversity of the lineage covered by the analysis to a higher level

    For more than a year, scientists and clinicians have been trying to understand why some people get severe new coronary pneumonia, while others show almost no symptoms
