Abstract (english)
We have read with great interest several recently published articles on the potential relevance of some genetic polymorphisms to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the severity of consequent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (1-4). Given that the COVID-19 pandemic shows important geographic variation in its prevalence and mortality, Delanghe et al (1) hypothesized that genetic variation of the host might, at least in part, explain the outcome of SARSCoV-2 infection. They analyzed the geographic variation of a number of immune system-related human plasma protein polymorphisms and reported that the ACE1*D allele frequency correlated negatively with COVID-19 prevalence and positively with COVID-19-associated mortality. The other investigated polymorphisms, including the F and S alleles of complement C3, the C282Y mutation in homeostatic iron regulator HFE, the Hp1 and Hp2 alleles of haptoglobin, and the DBP1 and DBP2 alleles of vitamin D binding protein, did not significantly correlate with COVID-19 prevalence or mortality (2)
