The genes - called IFNAR2, TYK2, OAS1, DPP9 and CCR2 – partially explain why some people become desperately sick with COVID-19, while others are not affected

I wonder if those ancestral DNA kits could test for those genes, would be useful information since anti body tests are not available here. However, good news for finding new treatments.
