T83 |
0-180 |
Sentence |
denotes |

T84 |
181-351 |
Sentence |
denotes |

T85 |
352-635 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, no HLA associations with COVID-19 infection have been noted in a recent report [57] but an association with the ABO blood group system was confirmed, with bearers of the blood group A phenotype showing an increased risk for COVID-19 infection compared to blood group O [58]. |
T86 |
636-794 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The O phenotype appears protective to malaria [56] and its worldwide distribution seems to have been shaped by the parasite’s selective genetic pressure [56]. |
T87 |
795-1008 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The frequency of the O blood group in Thailand is 40.5% [59] and its relatively high prevalence along with the high HbE heterozygote frequency could further potentiate the hypothesized antiviral protective effect. |
