Abstrakt: Functional prediction and frequency of coding variants in human ACE2 at binding sites with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on different populations Hussain et al1 identified 17 natural coding variants for human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ( I ACE2 i ) that were found at positions described as important for binding of ACE2 with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The combination of functional predictors could yield more reliable findings mainly regarding to missense variants,2 as previously reported.3 Therefore, we searched for these I ACE2 i variants using other recommended predictors.
