ABSTRACT
The present study investigated two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-rs479200 and rs516651 in the host EGLN1/PHD2 gene for their association with COVID-19 severity. A retrospective cohort of 158 COVID-19 patients from the Indian population (March 2020 to June 2021) was enrolled. Notably, the frequency of C allele (0.664) was twofold higher than T allele (0.336) in severe COVID-19 patients. Here, we report a novel finding that the C allele of rs479200 in the EGLN1 gene imparts a high risk of severe COVID-19 (odds ratio-6.214 (1.84-20.99) p = 0.003; 9.421 (2.019-43.957) p = 0.004), in additive inheritance model (adjusted and unadjusted, respectively).
