Article Synopsis
- * Most genetic studies on drug responses have focused on European and North American populations, leaving a gap in understanding how these drugs affect Indigenous groups, particularly in the Amazon.
- * This study found unique genetic variants in Amazonian Indigenous populations related to corticosteroid treatment, emphasizing the need for precision medicine tailored to their genetic makeup to improve treatment outcomes and reduce adverse effects.
COVID-19 is a systemic disease caused by the etiologic agent SARS-CoV-2, first reported in Hubei Province in Wuhan, China, in late 2019. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has evolved over time with distinct transmissibility subvariants from ancestral lineages. The clinical manifestations of the disease vary according to their severity and can range from asymptomatic to severe.

This article aims to correlate the epidemiological data, worldwide incidence, and mortality of BCa with the Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the susceptibility and severity in different populations.
