Gender and Age Differences Reveal Risk Patterns in COVID-19 Outbreak. Altern Ther Health Med. 2020 May 15;: Authors: Singh Y, Gupta G, Mishra A, Chellappan DK, Dua K Abstract By April 28th 2020, the global number of people that were viciously infected with the newfound novel corona virus (COVID-19) stood at a staggering 3 077 133 cases, as per the confirmed data released by the WHO. It has been reported that women from the Chinese Han population are associated with essential hypertension due to their relation with the 5 SNPs, namely, rs1514283, rs4646155, rs4646176, rs2285666, and rs879922, which belong to the ACE2 gene. The level of ACE2 activity was very low in normal healthy younger persons, and was reported to be increased in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Thus, there might be severe myocarditis, that may result in acute heart failure and cardiac complexities in the elderly subjects. PMID: 32412919 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
