i cant synthesize this:

Using this paragraph I pulled out the word polymorphisms (btw, one of the COVID drugs suggested test for G6ph before giving it)

"Pfalciparum malaria has coexisted with humans for more than 50 000 years and has profoundly shaped the genetic composition of our species.7 It is well known that polymorphisms causing diseases, such as sickle cell, glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency, ovalocytosis, and thalassemia, have been selected for the protection that they confer against severe malaria.8"

then I got this
The host’s angiotensin-converting enzyme polymorphism may explain epidemiological findings in COVID-19 infections

" It should also be noted that the two Asian countries which were initially severely hit by the virus, China and Korea, are also characterized by low D allele frequencies.

These data suggest that ACE1 D/I polymorphism may be regarded as a confounder in the spread of COVID-19 and the outcome of the infection in various European populations. These findings are in agreement with the role of ACE in pulmonary infections caused by corona viruses [4]. The ACE D/I genotype may affect the clinical course of the infection.
