Discovering of JINZA1 and JINZA2 Genes of SARS COV2 by using ABI3730XL, Sequencer in Iraqi Patients

Abstract

A total of (200) whole blood, nasal and throat swab samples were collected from patients infected with the Coronavirus who were recumbent in Al-Nouman and Al-yarmook hospitals from 1st January to 1st November 2021. Demographic results showed that the highest infection rate was among the age group (20–40) years followed by (41–60) years, with no significant difference (p > 0.05). While the distribution of infection according to gender revealed that the females were higher 58 (58%) than males 42 (42%). The distribution of the severity of infection among patients showed that the mild infection was among the age group (20–40) years 38(66.7%), the moderate infection was among the age group (41–60) years 20(55%), but the severe infection was among the age group (61–80) years 16(44.4%). While the females were shown to be more infected among patients with mild and moderate infections with Coronavirus. The mild symptomatic infections 38(76%) were highest among other cases. Two mutated strains, JINZA1 and JINZA2, belonging to Iraqi patients who died after contracting Coronavirus, were identified and registered in NCBI at the Gene Bank USA
