Scientists study OAS–RNase L errors and COVID-19-associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children RockefellerUniv COVID19 SARSCoV2 MISC
By Bhavana KunkalikarDec 23 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study published in Science, researchers assessed the inborn abnormalities of 2′-5′-oligoadenylate synthetase -ribonuclease L noted in coronavirus disease 2019 -associated multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children .
The team conducted whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing on 558 MIS-C patients from the COVID Human Genetic Effort international cohort. Homozygous or hemizygous variants predicted to be loss-of-function in human genes and had a gene damage index of less than 13.83 were detected. Consequently, the search was expanded to include all homozygous or probable compound heterozygous nonsynonymous or important splicing site variants having a minor allele frequency of less than 0.
