Genética, Genómica y COVID-19: implicaciones éticas
Palabras clave:
genética, genómica, hospedero, COVID-19, éticaResumen
Introducción:
La genética y la genómica contribuyen al desarrollo de enfoques personalizados y más efectivos para la prevención y el tratamiento de enfermedades infecciosas. Durante la actual pandemia se realizan estudios genómicos a pacientes con COVID-19 o expuestos no afectados, para delinear los factores del huésped asociados con la variabilidad en la susceptibilidad, la infectividad y gravedad de la enfermedad.
Objetivo:
Describir las implicaciones éticas de la genética y genómica en la práctica clínica y la salud pública durante la pandemia de la COVID-19.
Métodos:
Se consultan las bases bibliográficas de PubMed/Medline y Google académico. Se describen las implicaciones éticas, beneficios y perjuicios relacionados con los estudios genéticos y genómicos, en la práctica clínica y la salud pública en la COVID-19.
Conclusiones:
Los estudios genéticos y genómicos desarrollados durante la pandemia de COVID-19 representan un logro de la coordinación y cooperación global.
