Association of the Transmembrane Serine Protease-2 (TMPRSS2) Polymorphisms with COVID-19

Association of the Transmembrane Serine Protease-2 (TMPRSS2) Polymorphisms with COVID-19

SARS-CoV-2 uses the ACE2 receptor and the cellular protease TMPRSS2 for entry into target cells. The present study aimed to establish if the TMPRSS2 polymorphisms are associated with COVID-19 disease. The study included 609 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR test and 291 individuals negative...
