A latest study by Swedish researchers has discovered a gene that reduces the intensity of COVID-19 infections by 20%. The researchers believe the gene's discovery will aid in the development of potent antiviral medications and help explain the diversity of symptoms. The gene instructs the body to produce a protein capable of destroying SARS-CoV-2. Researchers say the presence of this gene varies across ethnicities.
