Beuy Joob, Viroj Wiwanitkit

Abstract


Dear Editor,

COVID‑19 is the new emerging coronavirus infection. The pandemic results in more than 75,000,000 people around the world (data on December 21, 2020). In clinical genetic, impact of genetic change on the infection is an interesting issue. The mutation might occur with the SARSCoV2 virus molecule.
