Method DNA extraction was performed using the QIAamp® Blood DNA Midi kit and DNA concentrations determined using a microvolume spectrophotometer. The TMPRSS2 polymorphism was detected using a TaqMan SNP genotyping assay. Genotyping was performed RT-PCR with VIC and FAM fluorescent reporters to indicate allelic discrimination.
Bioinformatics Statistical analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics Software ver. 23 (IBM Corp.) or GraphPad Prism ver. 8 (GraphPad Software, LLC). A chi-squared test was used to examine the Hardy–Weinberg equilibriums and to determine the association between categorical variables in the cross-tabulation data. ANOVA with post hoc multiple comparisons was used to analyse numerical data. A P value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
Imputation details NA
Limitations a. Small sample size with larger studies required for validation, b. A Ct value was used to determine viral load which can only provide an estimate, and c. The effect of the variant on protein function needs to be performed.
