   Japan's low COVID-19 death rate may be due to genetics, top research   
   institute says   
      
   The reason that Japan has fared far better than the West when it comes   
   to COVID-19 cases and deaths may come down to simple genetics,   
   according to research by a leading Japanese institute.   
      
   Most Japanese have an inherited component of the immune system that   
   can more effectively kill various coronaviruses, including the one   
   that causes COVID-19, scientists with Riken research institute have   
   said, adding that this could be one of the factors behind the low   
   number of cases and deaths in Japan during the pandemic compared with   
   the U.S. and Europe.
