Genetic determinants of COVID-19 severity and mortality: ACE1 Alu 287 bp polymorphism and ACE1, ACE2, TMPRSS2 expression in hospitalized patients

Genetic determinants of COVID-19 severity and mortality: ACE1 Alu 287 bp polymorphism and ACE1, ACE2, TMPRSS2 expression in hospitalized patients

Background The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) are central human molecules in the SARS-CoV-2 virus-host interaction. Evidence indicates that ACE1 may influence ACE2 expression. This study aims to determine whether ACE1, ACE2, and TMPRSS2 mRNA...
