Human ACE2 receptor polymorphisms and altered susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. The viral spike (S) protein engages the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to invade host cells with ~10–15-fold higher affinity compared to SARS-CoV S-protein, making it highly infectious. Here, we...
