説明

<p>Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic that is still affecting people and has caused many deaths. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have an important role in the binding of disease agents to the host cell, disease susceptibility and severity, and host disease resistance. In this study, we investigated the frequencies of TLR7 (C.4-151 A/G), TLR9 (T-1486C and G2848A), and TLR10 (720A/C and 992T/A) single nucleotide polymorphisms in 150 cases with COVID-19 and 171 control samples. We also examined whether TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10 were related to COVID-19 severity. Furthermore, we analyzed the association between COVID-19 and some clinical parameters. Polymerase chain reaction based on restriction fragment length polymorphisms performed for the TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10 single nucleotide polymorphisms. TLR7 C.4-151 A/G G allele and GG genotype; TLR9 T-1486C C allele and TC, CC genotypes; and TLR10 720A/C C allele; TLR10 992T/A A allele and AA genotype frequencies were statistically significant in cases with COVID-19 compared with controls (P < 0.05*). In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10 allele and genotype frequencies between the severity groups (P < 0.05*). Our findings suggest that TLR7, TLR9, and TLR10 polymorphisms may be crucial for the clinical course and susceptibility to infection.</p>
