To explore the variability in genetic polymorphisms and expression in human ACE2 (hACE2), we set out to determine if there were any differences between the Asian and Caucasian populations for ACE2 polymorphisms and compare the variability of hACE2 expression in peripheral blood among eight different populations. In order to investigate whether differences in genetic variations exist between Caucasians and Asians and if these variants can influence the efficiency of cell entry of SARS-CoV-2, we retrieved the variants in the hACE2 from gnomAD v2.1 exomes13. Asians and Other Races Express Similar Levels of and Share the Same Genetic Polymorphisms of the SARS-CoV-2 Cell-Entry Receptor ./cache/cord-326882-bbn1tfq5.txt ./txt/cord-326882-bbn1tfq5.txt
