UK scientists find gene that may double risk of COVID-19 death

British scientists have identified a version of a gene that may indicate an increased risk of lung failure as well as doubled risk of death from COVID-19.
The research indicates that the lungs’ response to the virus is critical in how the body fights against it.
"The reason this has proved so difficult to work out, is that the previously identified genetic signal affects the ‘dark matter’ of the genome," explained Jim Hughes, professor of gene regulation and co-lead on the study.
