Article Synopsis
- The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants highlights the need for simple molecular tools to distinguish between these strains amidst ongoing virus evolution.
- Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) faces challenges including high costs and the need for specialized resources, leading to gaps in SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in some countries.
- A proposed Sanger sequencing method using a single PCR fragment can quickly identify all known variants of concern, allowing more labs to conduct effective surveillance and accelerate public health responses.
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a multifactorial disease, including the genetic factor, caused by coronary artery obstruction by atheroma. Some genetic variants have been described as risk factors for this disease. Its early diagnosis and stratification of risk of death by Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) are important.

The virus itself, however, is not enough to cause lesions on the cervix. Several studies suggest that some polymorphic sites changes the cytokines levels and influence the cancer development in HPV infected patients.
