Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 rs2285666 polymorphism and clinical parameters as the determinants of COVID‐19 severity in Iranian population

Abstract: Host genetic factors may be correlated with the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) plays a vital role in viral cell entrance. The current study aimed to evaluate the association of ACE2 rs2285666 polymorphism and clinical parameters with COVID‐19 mortality. The ACE2 rs2285666 polymorphism was genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length polymorphism in 556 recovered and 522 dead patients. In this study, the frequency of ACE2 rs22… Show more

“…The COVID-19 mortality toll was the highest in the elderly, obese, male, immunocompromised, tobacco users, chronic disease patients, socioeconomically disadvantaged, black people, and cancer [1,2]. Additionally, interindividual genetic differences could be a factor in COVID-19 cases that are more severe [3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

“…Cathelicidin LL-37 and human β defensin 2 are 25-hydroxyvitamin D–inducible antimicrobial peptides that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and prevent viral binding to the cellular receptor angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) [ 8 ]. Several bodies of research examining possible links between higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D status or vitamin D supplement use and decreased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection have produced conflicting findings, with some indicating protective relationships and others indicating null or adverse associations [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Generally, meta-analyses that include these and other observational research indicate protective relationships [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…However, vitamin D controls its level in the body by limiting the amount of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines released by macrophages. Therefore, it should not be surprising that several studies found a link between vitamin D deficiency and COVID‐19 cases and a higher risk of death (Ahmadi et al, 2022; Gholami et al, 2022; Ilie et al, 2020; Khalilzadeh et al, 2022; Mirzaei Gheinari et al, 2022; Raheem Juhi Al‐Kaabi et al, 2022; Rahimi et al, 2021).…”
