A research team is studying a group of people who have all been exposed to a significant viral infection. The researchers are trying to understand why some individuals in the group develop a severe, long-lasting illness while others recover quickly with only mild symptoms. They are specifically investigating if differences in the individuals' genetic makeup can explain this variation. This study is most directly addressing which of the following core questions in its field?
