Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent evidence has linked the interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 gene (IFITM3) to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes, but the results are inconsistent. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association of IFITM3 gene polymorphisms with COVID-19 susceptibility and severity. METHOD: A systematic search was performed with PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and...
