Genetic susceptibility associated with hospitalization due to respiratory syncytial virus in a group of Taiwanese children: a preliminary study
Our findings identify several gene loci associated with higher rates of hospital admissions due to RSV in children of ≥6 months of age. By studying the genetic variations that may predispose people to RSV infection, it may be possible to gain a better understanding of risk factors and prioritize vaccination for specific populations.
