PSMD1 and infection: Blood group A may increase the risk of developing COVID-19 due to the “attraction” of the SARS-2 coronavirus and, more particularly, the receptor binding domain (RBD) located at the top of the spike protein (S1 subunit) in blood group A antigens, which are found on the cells of the airways—that is, the RBD of the new coronavirus joins the ACE2 receptors on the surface of the airway cells, which allows the development of infection [59,60].
