Ethnic differences in SERPINA1 allele frequencies may partially explain national differences in COVID-19 fatality rates	2020-08-26		.txt	text/plain	1969	140	46	We present preliminary evidence that these variations may in part reflect ethnic differences in the frequencies of polymorphic alleles of SERPINA1, coding for alpha-1 antitrypsin, the major blood serine protease inhibitor. We examined if population variations in human serine protease inhibitor (serpin) genes may help explain the lower COVID-19 infection rates and fatalities in East and Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, compared to other regions. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.08.24.20179226 doi: medRxiv preprint carrier frequency of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency PiZ and PiS alleles in East and Southeast Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries may help explain the lower COVID-19 infection and mortality rates in these regions.
