Résumé

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism may play a role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19). Investigate the relationship between ACE I/D polymorphism and the clinical severity of COVID-19. Prospective cohort study. Tertiary care hospital. The study included COVID-19 patients with asymptomatic, mild, and severe disease with clinical data and whole blood samples collected from 1 April 2020 to 1 July 2020. ACE I/D genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis. ACE DD, DI and II genotypes frequencies. 90 cases, 30 in each disease severity group. Age and the frequency of general comorbidity increased significantly from the asymptomatic disease group to the severe disease group. Advanced age, diabetes mellitus and presence of ischemic heart disease were independent risk factors for severe COVID-19 [OR and 95 % CI: 1.052 (1.021-1.083), 5.204 (1.006-26.892) and 5.922 (1.109-31.633), respectively]. The ACE II genotype was the dominant genotype (50%) in asymptomatic patients, while the DD genotype was the dominant genotype (63.3 %) in severe disease. The ACE II geno-type was protective against severe COVID-19 [OR and 95% CI: .323 (.112-.929)]. All nine patients (8.9%) who died had severe disease. The clinical severity of COVID-19 infection may be associated with the ACE I/D polymorphism. Small sample size and single center. None.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism may play a role in the pathogenesis of coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19).
OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
Investigate the relationship between ACE I/D polymorphism and the clinical severity of COVID-19.
DESIGN METHODS
Prospective cohort study.
SETTING METHODS
Tertiary care hospital.
PATIENTS AND METHODS METHODS
The study included COVID-19 patients with asymptomatic, mild, and severe disease with clinical data and whole blood samples collected from 1 April 2020 to 1 July 2020. ACE I/D genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE METHODS
ACE DD, DI and II genotypes frequencies.
SAMPLE SIZE METHODS
90 cases, 30 in each disease severity group.
RESULTS RESULTS
Age and the frequency of general comorbidity increased significantly from the asymptomatic disease group to the severe disease group. Advanced age, diabetes mellitus and presence of ischemic heart disease were independent risk factors for severe COVID-19 [OR and 95 % CI: 1.052 (1.021-1.083), 5.204 (1.006-26.892) and 5.922 (1.109-31.633), respectively]. The ACE II genotype was the dominant genotype (50%) in asymptomatic patients, while the DD genotype was the dominant genotype (63.3 %) in severe disease. The ACE II geno-type was protective against severe COVID-19 [OR and 95% CI: .323 (.112-.929)]. All nine patients (8.9%) who died had severe disease.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
The clinical severity of COVID-19 infection may be associated with the ACE I/D polymorphism.
LIMITATIONS CONCLUSIONS
Small sample size and single center.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST BACKGROUND
None.
