The crucial factor in changing mortality from COVID-19 countries

Experts at Gent University believe that genetic differences among people can explain why a large number of people died from coronary in some countries, not others.

According to them, Scandinavian and Eastern European countries are less affected by pandemic than other countries because of genetic change.

In Scandinavian countries, the death toll is markedly lower than the average, and there are relatively few deaths in Balkan countries, while the pandemic hit northern Italy, Spain and New York's federal state hard.

Some genetic characteristics affect the body level of coronarys, the experts at Gent University concluded, explaining that they have discovered a visible link between the ACE1 and COVID-19 genes, according to Belgian daily ėLa Libreı.

Belgian scientists have found that the more residents in one country have polymorphism D for the ACE1 gene, the less death in that area than COVID-19.

Polymorphism is a term that describes in genetics the manifestation of numerous versions of the same gene within a single population.

The further we go to Eastern Europe, the more frequent the polymorphism of genius ACE1 D. This is about the severity of the pandemic, so we see that the activity of the virus declines as we move from Western Europe to Central and Eastern Europe “, explains microbiologist and immunologist Joris Dilllonge.

Experts believe that this form of polymorphism of genius ACE1 can explain as much as 41 per cent of the change in pandemic levels between countries, Kosovas broadcasts.

After comparing data on polymorphism frequency among residents of 25 countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa with data from the University of Johns Hopkins for the number of infections and deaths in those countries, they discovered the link between polymorphism A CE1 D and the severity of pandemic.
