简介
In humans, the dimeric receptor complex IFNAR2-IFNAR1 accelerates cellular response triggered by type I interferon (IFN) family proteins in response to viral infection including Coronavirus infection. Studies have revealed the association of the IFNAR2 gene with severe illness in Coronavirus infection and indicated the association of genomic variants, i.e. single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, comprehensive analysis of SNPs of the IFNAR2 gene has not been performed in both coding and non-coding region to find the causes of loss of function of IFNAR2 in COVID-19 patients. In this study, we have characterized coding SNPs (nsSNPs) of IFNAR2 gene using different bioinformatics tools and identified deleterious SNPs. We found 9 nsSNPs as pathogenic and disease-causing along with a decrease in protein stability. We employed molecular docking analysis that showed 5 nsSNPs to decrease …
