Asymptomatic infections with SARS-CoV-2 are common, thanks in part, perhaps, to a newly identified genetic mutation.Credit: Sean Gallup/Getty At least 20% of people who become infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus never feel sick. Now scientists have identified a genetic mutation that is linked to a higher likelihood of avoiding symptoms during infection1. This mutation might […]
Abstract Studies have demonstrated that at least 20% of individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 remain asymptomatic1,2,3,4. Although most global efforts have focused on severe illness in COVID-19, examining asymptomatic infection provides a unique opportunity to consider early immunological features that promote rapid viral clearance. Here, postulating that variation in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci may […]
Several experimental systems have been used over the past five decades to address important questions in cardiac development and congenital heart disease. Here we discuss the strengths and limitations of available models, and how the use of different models synergistically is needed for a deeper understanding of these complex diseases. Congenital heart defects are the […]

RESEARCH BRIEFINGS 19 July 2023 A common genetic variant of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex, a family of genes involved in the immune response, is associated with an absence of symptoms during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Previous exposure to cold viruses seems to confer this immunity.

Abstract Over the last decades, the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae in clinical settings has increased progressively. This study determined the prevalence and risk factors associated with MDR K. pneumoniae infection among hospitalized patients in a referral hospital located in southern Saudi Arabia. A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in King Abdullah Hospital from […]
