Association of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes variants with disease severity and most important biomarkers in COVID-19 patients in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Croat Med J 2024; 65:220-231. [PMID: 38868968 PMCID: PMC11157263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes with COVID-19 severity and key biomarkers. METHODS The study involved 750 COVID-19 patients from Bosnia and Herzegovina, divided into three groups: mild, moderate, and severe cases. Genetic variations within the ACE2 (rs2285666) and TMPRSS2 (rs2070788) genes were examined with real-time polymerase chain reaction. Biochemical markers were determined with standard procedures. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the rs2070788 genotype distribution between patients with mild and moderate symptoms, but not between other groups. For the rs2285666 polymorphism, no significant difference in genotype distribution was found. In patients with mild symptoms, carriers of the GG genotype of rs2070788 had significantly higher total bilirubin levels than carriers of the AA genotype. Similarly, carriers of the TT genotype of rs2285666 had significantly higher activated partial thromboplastin time and international normalized ratio, and lower lactate dehydrogenase levels compared with the CC genotype. Among patients with severe symptoms, carriers of the GG genotype showed significantly higher potassium levels than carriers of the AA genotype, while carriers of the TT genotype showed significantly higher erythrocyte count as well as hemoglobin and hematocrit levels compared with the CC genotype. CONCLUSION This study highlights the role of genetic factors, particularly SNPs in the ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes, in determining COVID-19 severity, aiding patient risk assessment and prognosis.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for causing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The development and severity of this infectious disease is influenced by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) facilitates SARS-CoV-2 entry into human cells, with transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) playing a crucial role in S protein priming. Other proteases, such as cathepsin L and elastase, neutrophil-expressed (ELANE), have the capability to prime the S protein and contribute to SARS-CoV-2 infection. ELANE variants have not been previously examined in COVID-19 patients. We aimed to assess the association of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) within ELANE with COVID-19 and biochemical markers. The study included 319 SARS-CoV-2-infected patients and 288 controls. Genotyping of ELANE rs17216663C/T (Pro257Leu), rs17223045C/T (As1n30Asn), and rs3761007G/A was conducted using a 5'-nuclease allelic discrimination assay (TaqMan assay). Our findings indicate that ELANE rs17223045C/T (C vs T: odds ratio [OR] 0.08, P = 0.005, and CC vs CT: OR 0.08, P = 0.005) and rs3761007G/A (G vs A: OR 0.38, P = 0.009, and GG vs GA: OR 0.40, P = 0.008) confer protection against COVID-19. However, these variants were not associated with biochemical markers. In conclusion, our data suggests that ELANE rs17223045C/T and rs3761007G/A SNVs may play a protective role against COVID-19.

Abstract
The clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection vary widely among patients, from asymptomatic to life-threatening. Host genetics is one of the factors that contributes to this variability as previously reported by the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative (HGI), which identified sixteen loci associated with COVID-19 severity. Herein, we investigated the genetic determinants of COVID-19 mortality, by performing a case-only genome-wide survival analysis, 60 days after infection, of 3904 COVID-19 patients from the GEN-COVID and other European series (EGAS00001005304 study of the COVID-19 HGI). Using imputed genotype data, we carried out a survival analysis using the Cox model adjusted for age, age2, sex, series, time of infection, and the first ten principal components. We observed a genome-wide significant (P-value < 5.0 × 10-8) association of the rs117011822 variant, on chromosome 11, of rs7208524 on chromosome 17, approaching the genome-wide threshold (P-value = 5.19 × 10-8). A total of 113 variants were associated with survival at P-value < 1.0 × 10-5 and most of them regulated the expression of genes involved in immune response (e.g., CD300 and KLR genes), or in lung repair and function (e.g., FGF19 and CDH13). Overall, our results suggest that germline variants may modulate COVID-19 risk of death, possibly through the regulation of gene expression in immune response and lung function pathways.

Abstract
Background The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains to be inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to provide an updated evaluation of the role of genetic polymorphisms in the infection, severity and mortality of COVID-19 based on all available published studies. Methods A systematic search was performed using six databases: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang. Summary odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the genotypic comparison. All statistical analyses were conducted in Stata 12.0. Results A total of 62 studies with 19600 cases and 28899 controls was included in this meta-analysis. For COVID-19 infection, ACE Ins/Del polymorphism might be related with significantly decreased risk of COVID-19 infection under dominant, homozygote and allelic models. Meanwhile, the IFITM3 rs12252 and TMPRSS2 rs12329760 polymorphisms were significantly associated with the increased risk of COVID-19 infection under one or more models. Regarding COVID-19 severity, ACE2 rs2074192, ACE2 rs2106809, IFITM3 rs12252 and VDR rs1544410 polymorphisms might be related with significantly increased risk of COVID-19 severity in one or more models. Moreover, the analysis of TMPRSS2 rs2070788 indicated that a variant A allele decreased the risk of COVID-19 severity in recessive model. For COVID-19 mortality, the variant C allele of IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism might be related with significantly increased risk of COVID-19 mortality under all genetic models. Conclusions This meta-analysis indicated that he infection, severity or mortality of COVID-19 were related to the above genetic polymorphisms, which might provide an important theoretical basis for understanding the clinical feature of COVID-19 disease.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), later renamed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), was first identified in Wuhan, China, in early December 2019. Initially, the China office of the World Health Organization was informed of numerous cases of pneumonia of unidentified etiology in Wuhan, Hubei Province at the end of 2019. This would subsequently result in a global pandemic with millions of confirmed cases of COVID-19 and millions of deaths reported to the WHO. We have analyzed most of the data published since the beginning of the pandemic to compile this comprehensive review of SARS-CoV-2. We looked at the core ideas, such as the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnostics, histopathologic findings, consequences, therapies, and vaccines. We have also included the long-term effects and myths associated with some therapeutics of COVID-19. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the SARS-CoV-2 virology, vaccines, medicines, and significant variants identified during the course of the pandemic. Our review article is intended to provide medical practitioners with a better understanding of the fundamental sciences, clinical treatment, and prevention of COVID-19. As of May 2023, this paper contains the most recent data made accessible.

Abstract
Recent events have raised concerns about the outbreak of a pandemic by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). An infection caused by a virus can provoke an inflammatory reaction, which can result in severe lung damage, failure of several organs, and death. The unique genetic makeup of each individual may be a component in the development of each of these responses. In this context, genetic variants of the genes linked to the invasion of the virus into the host's body can be analyzed. Various elements have a function in viral entry. ACE2 is used by SARS-CoV-2 as a receptor to enter the cell. TMPRSS2 is then responsible for cutting the virus into its components. In addition, lung damage occurs when there is an imbalance between ACE1 and ACE2. Another component that plays a significant role in virus penetration is called IFITM3, which is created as a reaction to interferon. This protein prevents viruses in the Coronaviridae family from entering cells. This study aimed to analyze DNA polymorphisms in the ACE2, ACE1, TMPRSS2, and IFITM3 genes. Findings showed certain polymorphisms appear to be associated with the severity of the disease, including respiratory, coronary, and neurological disorders. The results also indicated that certain polymorphisms were protective against this virus. Varying populations have a different frequency of high-risk polymorphisms, so different treatment and preventative techniques must be implemented. Additional population studies should be conducted in this region to reduce the incidence of COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
The administration of vaccination doses to the global population has led to a decrease in the incidence of COVID-19. However, the clinical picture developed by infected individuals remains extremely concerning due to the great variability in the severity of cases even in vaccinated individuals. The clinical progression of the pathology is characterized by various influential factors such as sex, age group, comorbidities, and the genetics of the individual. The immune response to viral infections can be strongly influenced by the genetics of individuals; nucleotide variations called single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in structures involved in the innate and adaptive immune response such as interferon (IFN)-λ, human leukocyte antigen (HLA), and interleukin (IL)-6 are frequently associated with pathological progression. In this study, we conducted a review of the main SNPs of these structures that are associated with severity in COVID-19. Searches were conducted on some platforms of the National Center for Biotechnology and Information (NCBI), and 102 studies were selected for full reading according to the inclusion criteria. IFNs showed a strong association with antiviral function, specifically, IFN-λ3 (IL-28B) demonstrated genetic variants commonly related to clinical progression in various pathologies. For COVID-19, rs12979860 and rs1298275 presented frequently described unfavorable genotypes for pathological conditions of hepatitis C and hepatocellular carcinoma. The high genetic variability of HLA was reported in the studies as a crucial factor relevant to the late immune response, mainly due to its ability to recognize antigens, with the HLA-B*46:01 SNP being associated with susceptibility to COVID-19. For IL-6, rs1554606 showed a strong relationship with the clinical progression of COVID-19. In addition, rs2069837 was identified with possible host protection relationships when linked to this infection.
