Importantly, it is the interplay between key environmental exposures (stress; social determinants of health, SDH) and genetic predisposition for aspects of viral pathogenesis and/or comorbid disease (e.g., type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM; hypertension, HTN) that ultimately converges on COVID-19 manifestation and affects mortality . While there is conflicting data regarding the effects of variants in all three of the candidate genes discussed here, the remarkable relevance of associated phenotypes to COVID-19 pathophysiology together implies that genetic polymorphisms which regulate immune and stress responses may interact to affect underlying disease risk and, simultaneously, SARS-CoV-2 pathogenicity. ./cache/cord-288632-2aliqy8p.txt ./txt/cord-288632-2aliqy8p.txt
