Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 249 participants classified them based on the WHO clinical progression scale, highlighting that elderly patients with comorbidities were more likely to develop severe respiratory issues.
- * Certain genetic polymorphisms (-rs1834481, -rs5743708, and -rs4986791) were identified as independent risk factors, suggesting they could serve as molecular predictors for the severity of COVID-19 in infected individuals.
The effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination strategies is affected by several factors, including the genetic background of the host. In our study, we evaluated the contribution of the functional polymorphism rs1883832 affecting the Kozak sequence of the TNFSF5 gene (c.-1C>T), encoding CD40, to humoral immune responses after vaccination with the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.
