Association of Gene Variants with Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in COVID-19 Infected Pregnant Women in Kazakhstan.

SARS-CoV-2 utilizes the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors located on membranes to enter host cells. Nevertheless, the gene primarily encodes for a zinc metalloproteinase, which is a part of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 downregulation results in the deregulation of RAS in favor of pro-fibrosis, pro-apoptosis, oxidative stress, pro-inflammation, aldosterone production and release, and blood vessel contraction axis.
