Abstract

Introduction: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The disease has a wide range of clinical manifestations, from asymptomatic to severe. Ancestral contribution, sex, immune response, and genetic factors influence the presentation of the disease. The objective of the present study was to validate these genetic variants in patients with severe COVID-19 who died and in survivor patients. Methods: Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in six genes: ATPase plasma membrane Ca[SUP]2+[/SUP] transporting 2 (ATP2B2), transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), dedicator of cytokinesis 2 (DOCK2), (interferon alpha and beta receptor subunit 2) IFNAR2, tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 1A (TNFRSF1A), and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 1B (TNFRSF1B), were explored in two groups: the first consisted of severe COVID-19-related patients (familial cases from 58 families, n = 130), and the second group of unrelated severe COVID-19 patients (n = 1045). In each study group, death was evaluated as the outcome.
Results: In non-related patients with severe COVID-19, carriers of GG genotype (rs2289274) in the ATP2B2 gene showed a high-risk probability of non-surviving (OR = 1.43). Survival analysis to 75 days indicates that carriers of GG have a higher risk than GA or AA genotypes (p = 0.0059). The haplotype GG (rs2289273-rs2289274) in ATP2B2 was found to be associated with a high risk of death in severe non-related COVID-19 patients. No significant associations were found between severe COVID-19-related patients and SNVs in ATP2B2, TMPRSS2, DOCK2, IFNAR2, TNFRSF1A, or TNFRSF1B.
Conclusions: Unrelated patients with severe COVID-19 that carry the GG genotype (rs2289274) in ATP2B2 showed a high death risk. Survival analysis to 75 days indicates that carriers of GG have a higher risk of non-survival compared to GA or AA genotypes.
