Over the past few months, several research reports have found that people with OTIP blood group have a slightly lower risk of corona virus than people in other groups.
A new study has found a similar claim that patients with O-blood group are somewhat less likely to be diagnosed with code 19 than those with A, B or AB.
The study looked at the blood groups of about 1,300 Corona virus patients who were admitted to five Massachusetts hospitals between March and April.
The results showed that O-blood group coronavirus is less likely to test positive for the virus, while B and AB types are at higher risk. In contrast, A-blood group has no link to the diagnosis of the virus. Could not come
Research findings reinforce previous research work.
A study in China in March found that people with A-blood group had the highest risk of developing code 19, while those with O-blood group had a significantly lower risk.
The researchers said that the difference in the risk of different blood groups and code 19 may be the result of specific antibodies in the blood, but more research is needed to confirm this.
Earlier last month, a study by scientists in Germany and Norway found that a specific blood group could cause a significant increase in the severity of the virus.
Research has shown that people with A-blood group may have a higher risk of developing the most serious type of coronavirus.
The study found two sites in the human genome that increase the risk of respiratory failure in people with COD 19, one of which was in the gene that determines blood type.
Research has shown that people with A blood group who have code 19 may be more likely to need oxygen or a ventilator.
However, Andre Frank, a professor of molecular medicine at Kyle University in Germany, who was involved in the study, said that it was not necessary for a blood group to determine whether an individual was more ill.
“Until now, we have not been able to differentiate between blood groups or certain genetic factors linked to blood group,” he said. Individuals are 50 percent more secure and those in Group A are 50 percent more at risk.
The researchers collected blood samples from 1610 patients undergoing treatment in hospitals in Italy and Spain who needed oxygen or ventilator, collected DNA from blood samples and scanned using a technique called genotyping. went.
He was later compared to 2205 people who did not fall victim to Code 19.
The researchers also analyzed the DNA of Code 19 patients to determine if they had any genetic code in common.
But researchers are still unsure why this connection exists.
Preliminary research by biotechnology company 23 & May also found that people with the O-blood group had a lower risk of contracting the new Novel Corona virus.
According to preliminary results, people with O-blood group are 9 to 18 percent less likely to be diagnosed with corona virus than others.
Research has shown that people who are at higher risk of contracting the virus, such as medical personnel and those engaged in urgent work, or those who are in contact with an infected person, have an increased risk of developing the virus in O-blood group 13. Less than 26%.
The research team did not find any significant difference in the risk of other blood groups, but did say that people with O blood group are less likely to be hospitalized.
Work on the study began in April and the volunteers involved in the survey were asked to answer questions such as whether they had symptoms such as the flu or the common cold and when they were diagnosed, treated or as a result of code 19. I didn’t have to go to the hospital.
The genetic information of these volunteers was also obtained.
Preliminary results have shown that the ABO gene, which determines different blood groups, reduces the risk of being diagnosed with the disease.
The total number of patients with O blood group was 1.3%, while the number of patients with A blood group was 1.4 and the number of patients with B and AB blood groups was 1.5%.
When the researchers looked at people who had a higher risk of contracting the virus, they found that the chances of being diagnosed with code 19 in O-blood group were 3.2% lower than in others. It was 4% in group and 4.1% in AB blood group.
But a statement from the company acknowledged that research was still in its infancy.
The researchers said that in some reports, code 19 has been linked to blood clots and diseases of the arteries, suggesting that genes may play a role.
“It’s still early days and despite the current patterns, it’s hard to say that we’ve discovered a genetic link,” he said.
“Not only are we doing this, but the entire scientific community needs to know the answers to the question of the relationship between genes and code 19,” he added.
