Relationship Between Human γ rs1801274 G Allele and Risk of Death Among Different SARS-CoV-2 Variants.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in late 2019 and spread very quickly across the world. Different responses to infections have been related to fragment crystallizable gamma-receptor II alpha (γ) polymorphisms. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if γ rs1801274 polymorphism was related to COVID-19 mortality among different variants of SARS-CoV-2. The γ rs1801274 polymorphism was genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique in 1,734 recovered and 1,450 deceased patients. Deceased patients had significantly higher minor allele frequency of the γ rs1801274 G allele than in the recovered cases. The COVID-19 mortality was associated with γ rs1801274 GG and AG genotypes in the Delta variant and with γ rs1801274 GG genotypes in the Alpha and Omicron BA.5 variants. The reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction Ct values revealed statistically significant differences between individuals with a G allele and those with an A allele. In conclusion, among the several SARS-CoV-2 variants, there may be a correlation between the mortality rate of COVID-19 and the G allele of rs1801274. To confirm our findings, thorough research is still required.
