Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress (OS), which leads to DNA damage, plays a role in the pathogenesis of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to evaluate the role of DNA repair gene variants [X-ray repair cross complementing 4 (XRCC4) rs28360071, rs6869366, and X-ray cross-complementary gene 1 (XRCC1) rs25487] in susceptibility to COVID-19 in a Turkish population. We also evaluated its effect on the clinical course of the...
