Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In patients with COVID-19, diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) increases the risk of hospitalization and death.

This study aims to determine whether SNPs of the IL-6 gene at rs1800795 (G > C) and the IL-17A gene at rs2275913 (G > A) are associated with COVID-19 and T2DM in the Iraqi...
