The virus is known to be highly transmissible. Heterogenic clinical features even vary more among SARS-CoV-2 variants from asymptomatic forms to severe symptoms. Previous studies revealed an association between COVID-19 and vitamin D deficiency resulting from its low levels in COVID-19 patients. To our knowledge, there is no scientific investigation that evaluates the direct association between SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and vitamin D receptor ( <i>VDR</i> ) gene markers in Cyprus. Thus, the present study aimed to identify the putative impact of <i>VDR</i> gene polymorphisms on SARS-CoV-2 infection among different variants. The nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from a total number of 600 patients who were admitted to Near East University Hospital COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Diagnosis Laboratory for routine SARS-CoV-2 real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) test. The RT-qPCR negative resulting samples were taken as control samples ( <i>n</i>  = 300).

Two <i>VDR</i> gene polymorphisms, <i>Taq</i> I-rs731236 T > C and <i>Fok</i> I-rs10735810 C > T, were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.

Hence, this study aimed to test the possible association between <i>PAX7</i> gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs880810, rs545793,rs80094639, and rs13251901 of the 8q24 region using a case-parent trio design. Forty case-parent trios were selected from the CLP center. Genomic DNA was isolated from the cases and their parents. The rs880810, rs545793, rs80094639, and rs13251901 were genotyped by the MassARRAY technique. PLINK software was used for statistical analysis. All the SNPs were tested for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No statistical significance was found with any SNPs, as none of the genotyped SNPs showed a <i>p</i> -value of less than 0.05. Hence, the rs880810, rs545793, and rs80094639 of the <i>PAX7</i> gene, and rs13251901 of the 8q24 region are not associated with NSOC in the Indian population.</p>","PeriodicalId":40142,"journal":{"name":"Global Medical Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10049805/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9577744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
