Investigation of carbonic anhydrase 6 gene polymorphism rs2274327 in relation to the oral health status and salivary composition in type 2 diabetic patients

Salivary proteomic analysis in asymptomatic and symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection: Innate immunity, taste perception and FABP5 proteins make the difference

“…Two proteins, Carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6) and Cystatin-SA (CYST-SA), were highly expressed by COVID-19 symptomatic inpatients with respect to asymptomatic subjects, although both were reduced with respect to controls, in agreement with the recent findings from Munoz-Prieto et al [37] . Both proteins are involved in taste perception [20] , [38] , [39] . These findings are in line with the SARS-CoV-2 correlated ageusia, although in our series this clinical manifestation was extremely rare.…”
