Article Synopsis
- * Analyzed 56 adult COVID-19 patients revealed that ICU patients had a much higher rate of vitamin D deficiency (56.25%) compared to outpatients (10%) and inpatients (5%), alongside significantly lower VDBP and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
- * The findings indicate that specific VDBP gene polymorphisms may affect vitamin D levels and COVID-19 severity, suggesting that genetic screening could help identify patients at higher risk for severe outcomes and inform personalized treatment approaches.
