DNA methylation and gene expression pattern of <i>ACE2</i> and <i>TMPRSS2</i> genes in saliva samples of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection
2020-10-27
Abstract excerpt
COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 became a pandemic affecting the health and economy of the world. Although it was known that this virus uses ACE2 protein along with TMPRSS2 to enter the host cell, the methylation pattern and gene expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 genes are not explored in saliva samples of patients infected with COVID-19. The study aimed to quantify promoter methylation of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 along with it...
