Lack of significant association between C allele homozygous and mild flu, observed in this study, might be the result of small sample size in this group. Therefore, we performed this study to identify the association between mild flu and IFITM3 rs12252-C polymorphism, BMI, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. In this study, we investigated the association between mild flu and IFITM3 rs12252 variant, BMI, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia in an Iranian population. To control for the effect of residual population admixture on our results, we adjusted genetic association between IFITM3-SNP rs12252 and susceptibility to mild flu for participants' residence area. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the association between IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and BMI with susceptibility to mild flu in an Iranian sample. ./cache/cord-337003-7ygcfzii.txt ./txt/cord-337003-7ygcfzii.txt
