The main goal of this study was to evaluate if there is any association between the DBP gene polymorphism at rs7041 and rs4588 loci and the prevalence of COVID-19 and its mortality rates caused among populations of ten countries including Turkey. 26 Regarding the genetic susceptibility to a viral infection in vitamin D deficiency, we also observed significant correlations between rs7041 polymorphism and prevalence of COVID-19 and mortality rates per country. Allelic variants of the DBP gene have been studied extensively for their association with vitamin D deficiency 29, 30 and viral infections. ./cache/cord-298542-4du3gar7.txt ./txt/cord-298542-4du3gar7.txt
