Serum vitamin D and vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms (FokI and TaqI) as predictors of COVID19 severity. ( Prospective study in a cohort of Egyptian COVID-19 patients)

Abstract
Severe forms of respiratory failure affect 20% of COVID‐19 patients with a death rate of about 65%. Vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor polymorphisms, mainly Taql (rs731236) and Fokl (rs10735810), were associated with respiratory tract infections. A prospective study on 90 confirmed PCR-positive COVID-19 patients was done. Results: Statistically significant lower levels of 25OH vitamin D w...
