COVID-19 as a worldwide selective event and bitter taste receptor polymorphisms: An ecological correlational study

Background: Given the observed olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions in patients with COVID-19 and recent findings on taste receptors possible important activities in the immune system, we elected to estimate the correlation between COVID-19 mortality and polymorphism of a particular type of bitter t...
