A new study conducted by the Mohammed bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences and Al Jalila Children’s Specialist Hospital, which is considered the first of its kind in the Middle East, revealed that emerging genetic factors can contribute to the exposure of some children to multiple system inflammation syndrome, a rare and dangerous complication after infection with “Covid 19”. “.
Dr. Walid Abu Hammour, co-researcher of the study, and head of the pediatric infectious diseases department at Al Jalila Children’s Hospital in Dubai, speaks to CNN in Arabic about the results of the study, which was published in the JAMA Network Open medical journal, and included data from 70 children, the majority of whom were of Arab nationality, to identify genetic variants. Which increases the risk of developing multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.
