Recently, scientists at Oxford University have identified a gene that is a factor to double the risk of death from lung failure and corona. Yes, and scientists have also claimed that the gene, which exists among South Asians, has made corona more deadly. Let me tell you all that scientists say that, LZTFL1 gene changes the way lungs are responding to the virus. Not only that but it is also being claimed that it is the most important genetic risk factor ever identified.

Let me tell you all that scientists have found in their study that 60% of South Asians have this gene. On the other hand, in European countries, it is available only in 15% of the people. In fact, the study was published in the Journal of Nature Genetics last Thursday and can explain the effect of corona in the Indian subcontinent. According to reports, the research found that the gene blocks the major protective mechanism, which prevents the lungs from responding to viral infections. At the same time, it is being said that when these cells meet with SARS-CoV-2, which causes corona infection, they turn into less specific cells. Due to this, the virus can easily attack the body.

It is said that people who have a gene called LZTFL1 can benefit greatly from vaccination. Not only that, but research also says that vaccination is very important in such people. Vaccination can reduce the risk of serious infections. At the same time, other independent experts have also described the study as important, though, saying it still needs more investigation.
