Resumen

Background/Aim: Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is present in a diverse type of cells and plays an important role in lung physiology and pathophysiology.
Angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE) are part of the RAS system. There are still controversies about the association of I/D polymorphisms of ACE1 with COVID-19 severity. The goal of the study was to determine whether there is an
association of the I/D polymorphism with severity of COVID- 19 in Mexican patients. Patients and Methods: The study included voluntary participants: 53 healthy individuals negative to RT-PCR COVID-19 (control), and 165 patients
positive to COVID-19. Severity was defined by the need of hospitalization, invasive ventilation, shock, or multiple organ failure. The patient group consisted of 28 asymptomatic, 82 with mild, and 55 with severe COVID-19. I/D polymorphism was determined by PCR. Rutinary laboratory tests were performed in all the participants. Results: DD polymorphism was significantly associated with severe COVID-19, independently of comorbidities, or any other variable.
Receiver operator characteristic curves demonstrated association of low total cholesterol, low high-density lipoproteins, and high c-reactive protein with severity of COVID-19. Conclusion: The DD polymorphism was associated with the course of the infection and severity of COVID-19 in a sample of Mexican patients.
