Purpose: SARS-CoV-2 infects cells via the human Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) protein. The genetic variation of ACE2 function and expression across populations is still poorly understood. This study aims at better understanding the genetic basis of COVID-19 outcomes by studying association between genetic variation in ACE2 and disease severity in the Iranian population. Methods: We analyzed two large Iranian cohorts and several publicly available human population variant databases to identify novel and previously known ACE2 exonic variants present in the Iranian population and considered those as candidate variants for association between genetic variation and disease severity. We genotyped these variants across three groups of COVID-19 patients with different clinical outcomes (mild disease, severe disease, and death) and evaluated this genetic variation with regard to clinical outcomes. Results: We identified 32 exonic variants present in Iranian cohorts or other public variant databases. Among those, 11 variants are novel and have thus not been described in other populations previously. Following genotyping of these 32 candidate variants, only the synonymous polymorphism (c.2247G>A) was detected across the three groups of COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: Genetic variability of known and novel exonic variants was low among our COVID-19 patients. Our results do not provide support for the hypothesis that exonic variation in ACE2 has a sizeable impact on COVID-19 severity across the Iranian population.

SARS-CoV-2受体ACE2变异的临床人群遗传分析

目的:SARS-CoV-2通过人类血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)蛋白感染细胞。ACE2功能和表达在人群中的遗传变异仍然知之甚少。这项研究旨在通过研究ACE2的遗传变异与伊朗人群疾病严重程度之间的联系,更好地了解COVID-19结果的遗传基础。方法:我们分析了两个伊朗大型人群和几个公众可得的人群变异数据库,以确定伊朗人群中存在的新颖的和先前已知的ACE2外显子变异,并将其视为遗传变异与疾病严重程度之间关联的候选变异。我们在三组具有不同临床结局(轻度疾病,严重疾病,和死亡),并根据临床结果评估了这种遗传变异。结果:我们鉴定出伊朗队列或其他公共变异数据库中存在的32种外显子变异。在这些之中,有11个变体是新颖的,因此以前没有在其他人群中描述过。对这32个候选变体进行基因分型后,在三组COVID-19患者中仅检测到同义多态性(c.2247G> A)。结论:在我们的COVID-19患者中,已知和新型外显子变体的遗传变异性较低。我们的结果不支持以下假设:ACE2的外显子变化对整个伊朗人群的COVID-19严重性影响很大。我们确定了伊朗队列或其他公共变异数据库中存在的32种外显子变异。在这些之中,有11个变体是新颖的,因此以前没有在其他人群中描述过。对这32个候选变体进行基因分型后,在三组COVID-19患者中仅检测到同义多态性(c.2247G> A)。结论:在我们的COVID-19患者中,已知和新型外显子变体的遗传变异性较低。我们的结果不支持以下假设:ACE2的外显子变化对整个伊朗人群的COVID-19严重性影响很大。我们确定了伊朗队列或其他公共变异数据库中存在的32种外显子变异。在这些之中,有11个变体是新颖的,因此以前没有在其他人群中描述过。对这32个候选变体进行基因分型后,在三组COVID-19患者中仅检测到同义多态性(c.2247G> A)。结论:在我们的COVID-19患者中,已知和新型外显子变体的遗传变异性较低。我们的结果不支持以下假设:ACE2的外显子变化对整个伊朗人群的COVID-19严重性影响很大。在三组COVID-19患者中检测到A)。结论:在我们的COVID-19患者中,已知和新型外显子变体的遗传变异性较低。我们的结果不支持以下假设:ACE2的外显子变化对整个伊朗人群的COVID-19严重性影响很大。在三组COVID-19患者中检测到A)。结论:在我们的COVID-19患者中,已知和新型外显子变体的遗传变异性较低。我们的结果不支持以下假设:ACE2的外显子变化对整个伊朗人群的COVID-19严重性影响很大。
