波兰科学家发现了一种基因,他们认为这种基因可使患上COVID-19严重疾病的风险增加一倍多,并希望这一发现可以帮助医生识别出哪些人感染最容易导致重症。
考虑到对疫苗的犹豫不决是中欧和东欧国家新冠状病毒高死亡率背后的一个主要因素,研究人员希望,识别出风险最大的人,将能够鼓励他们接种疫苗,并让他们在感染时获得更为强化的治疗方案。
卫生部长 Adam Niedzielski说:“经过超过一年半的工作,我们可能识别出了导致(新冠状病毒)严重疾病倾向的基因。”
“这意味着未来我们将能够……识别出有严重感染新冠肺炎倾向的人。”
Bialystok医科大学的研究人员发现,基因是决定一个人患COVID-19的严重程度的第四大重要因素,仅次于年龄、体重和性别。
负责该项目的教授Marcin Moniuszko说,这种基因在波兰人口中约占14%,而在整个欧洲人口中这一比例为8-9%,在印度为27%。
其他研究也显示出遗传因素对COVID-19病情发展程度的重要性。
去年11月,英国科学家曾表示,他们发现了一种基因,可能与新冠感染导致肺部衰竭的风险增加一倍有关。
