Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Growing evidence documented the critical impacts of vitamin D (VD) in the prognosis of COVID-19 patients. The functions of VD are dependent on the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the VD/VDR signaling pathway. Therefore, we aimed to assess the association of VDR gene polymorphisms with COVID-19 outcomes. METHODS: In the present study, eight VDR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped by...
