Article Synopsis
- The SARS-CoV-2 virus is constantly mutating, and researchers used various methods to study these mutations and their clinical relevance.
- They found 35 significant variants, including one deletion (Δ500-532) in the Nsp1 region, which occurs in over 20% of samples and is linked to more severe disease symptoms.
- This specific mutation has been identified in 37 countries and results in lower immune responses, suggesting its potential role in diagnosing and developing treatments for COVID-19.
