ZIKAHOST study shares findings on genetic predisposition to typical ZIKA effects at SEIP 2021
The ZIKAHOST study aims to describe the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection taking into account the host, in this case humans, instead of the pathogen, which would be the zika virus, and we search for biomarkers of the increased likelihood of developing the disease, diagnosis and prognosis through a genomic approach. What this means is that we look at DNA to see if we could understand if patients can be genetically predisposed to develop typical ZIKV effects. The study analysed 80 DNA samples from 40 mother and child pairs. The mothers […]
