Scientists from MBRU and Al Jalila Children’s find possible genetic links to rare life-threatening complication of COVID-19 in children

• Study funded by Al Jalila Foundation included70 children with COVID-19, including 45 with the rare Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C)
• The novel findings, published in JAMA Open Network, point to rare, likely damaging immune-related genetic changesthat may be responsible for MIS-C
