Abstract:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has caused a major global health crisis, primarily targets the upper and lower respiratory tract. But infected individuals may experience different clinical symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to critical. The vitamin D receptor (VDR) and Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) polymorphisms play a role in the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of VDR Bsml (rs1544410) and TLR2 23bp indel variants on the clinical status of Turkish patients with C… Show more
