The Role of ACE, ACE2, and AGTR2 Polymorphisms in COVID-19 Severity and the Presence of COVID-19-Related Retinopathy
21 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
The proposed SARS-CoV-2-induced dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAAS) system results in endothelial dysfunction and microvascular thrombosis. The retinal plexuses contain terminal vessels without anastomotic connections, making the retina especially susceptible to ischemia. This study aimed to determine the role of selected polymorphisms of genes in the RAAS pathway in COVID-19 severity and...
