Method | DNA was isolated from EDTA-treated blood. The ACE I/D polymorphism was genotyped and PCR products of ~ 490 bp and ~ 200 bp characterise the I and D alleles, respectively. All D/D subjects were re-genotyped with ACE I-specific oligonucleotides to avoid the misgenotyping of some I/D heterozygotes as D/D homozygotes. |
Bioinformatics | Statistical analysis was performed using the www.socscistatistics.com tools |
Imputation details | NA |
Limitations | The ACE I/D polymorphism effect on COVID-19 outcomes have varied outcomes from different papers (Gomez et al 2020 showed the D/D genotype affecting COVID-19 severity outcomes) |
