ABO protein was identified as having a causal connection to the risk of developing severe COVID-19 determines blood groups, suggesting that blood groups play an instrumental role in whether people develop severe forms of the disease. A new study has analysed over 3000 proteins to identify which are causally linked to the development of severe COVID-19.
Study published in PLOS Genetics used a genetic tool to screen over 3000 proteins where the researchers identified six proteins that could underlie an increased risk of severe COVID-19 and eight that could contribute to protection from severe COVID-19. This is the first study to assess such a large number of proteins for their connection to COVID-19 that provides insight into potential new targets for approaches to treat and prevent severe COVID-19.
