ABO blood group is long known to be an influencing factor for the susceptibility to infectious
diseases, and many studies have been describing associations between ABO blood types …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are a research approach used to identify
genetic variants associated with common diseases, like COVID-19. The lead genetic …

Despite rapid progress in characterizing the role of host genetics in SARS-Cov-2 infection,
there is limited understanding of genes and pathways that contribute to COVID-19. Here, we …

The observed variability in susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 and severity of the ensuing COVID-
19 have raised intense interest in their environmental and genetic risk factors. An early …

The global propagation of SARS‐CoV‐2 and the detection of a large number of variants,
some of which have replaced the original clade to become dominant, underscores the fact …

ABO blood groups appear to be associated with the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the
underlying mechanisms and their real importance remain unclear. Two hypotheses have …

Background Previous studies have reported Blood type O to confer a lower risk of SARS‐
CoV‐2 infection, while secretor status and other blood groups have been suspected to have …

Four human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), 3′-sialyllactose (3′-SL), 6′-sialyllactose (6′-
SL), 2′-fucosyllactose (2′-FL), and 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL), were assessed for their …

Background A recent study showed that the ABO gene, chr 9q34. 2, which determines blood
type, may affect COVID-19 disease severity, although this result has not been reproducible …

Among the risk factors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),
ABO (H) blood group antigens are among the most recognized predictors of infection …
