Evidence shows that genetic factors play important roles in the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sulfatase modifying factor 1 (SUMF1) gene is involved in alveolar damage and systemic inflammatory response. Therefore, we speculate that it may play a key role in COVID-19.
We found that rs794185 was significantly associated with COVID-19 severity in Chinese population, under the additive model after adjusting for gender and age (for C allele = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.44-0.88, P = 0.0073, logistic regression). And this association was consistent with this in European population Genetics Of Mortality In Critical Care (GenOMICC: OR for C allele = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.90-0.98, P = 0.0037). Additionally, we also revealed a remarkable association between rs794185 and the prothrombin activity (PTA) in subjects (P = 0.015, Generalized Linear Model).
In conclusion, our study for the first time identified that rs794185 in SUMF1 gene was associated with the severity of COVID-19.
有证据表明,遗传因素在 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的严重程度中起重要作用。硫酸酯酶修饰因子 1(SUMF1)基因参与肺泡损伤和全身炎症反应。因此,我们推测它可能在 COVID-19 中起关键作用。
我们发现 rs794185 在调整性别和年龄后,在加性模型下与中国人群 COVID-19 的严重程度显著相关(对于 C 等位基因= 0.62,95%CI = 0.44-0.88,P = 0.0073,逻辑回归)。这种关联与欧洲人群遗传学在重症监护中的死亡率(GenOMICC:对于 C 等位基因= 0.94,95%CI = 0.90-0.98,P = 0.0037)的关联一致。此外,我们还在研究对象中发现 rs794185 与凝血酶原活性(PTA)之间存在显著关联(P = 0.015,广义线性模型)。
总之,我们的研究首次发现 SUMF1 基因中的 rs794185 与 COVID-19 的严重程度有关。
