dc.description.abstract | The novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is a contagious acute respiratory infectious disease whose causative agent has been demonstrated to be a novel virus of the coronavirus family, SARSCoV-2. A recent PRE-print
study has showed a heme attack on the 1-beta chain of hemoglobin by COVID19. Beta-thalassemia results of a
default in the hemoglobin beta-chain synthesis. 1,5% global population are heterozygotes for this disease. In this
study, by a multiple linear regression, we have analyzed the evolution of COVID-19 infection in three Italian
regions (Puglia, Sardinia, Sicilia) with different beta-thalassemic prevalences, in order to search a link. The
results have showed that betathalassemic heterozygote population prevalence is correlated to immunity against
COVID-19, by a regression. This paper is only for academic discussion, the hypotheses and conclusions needs to
be confirmed by further research. | |
