Identification of severity related mutation hotspots in SARS-CoV-2 using a density-based clustering approach
Genes related to the immunological function of NK cells, especially the NK cell receptor and co-activating receptor genes, were significantly dysregulated in the severe patient group in both cytokine and single-cell levels. Collectively, mutation hotspots associated with severity and their related NK cell associated gene expression regulation were identified.
