Abstract: A missense (
Q271R) and synonymous (
R41R) mutation in the
S and
N proteins, respectively, were identified in 2/27 patients with severe
COVID-19 but not in patients with mild or moderate disease (0/86; p = .05, Fisher's Exact Test).
Result: No statistically significant enrichments were identified (two tailed t-test), though missense (
Q271R) and synonymous (
R41R) mutations in the
S and
N proteins, respectively, were identified in 2/27 patients with severe
COVID-19 but not in patients with mild or moderate disease (0/86; p = .05, Fisher's Exact Test).
