Introduction Host genetic variations have been identified as potential influencers of COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to examine the association between transmembrane serine protease type 2 ( TMPRSS2 ) rs2070788 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and prognosis in Iranian populations. Method case-control was performed on 756 patients 59 healthy individuals across Iran. Clinical data, blood samples, presence rs2070788: G>A SNP were determined using T-ARMS-PCR. Additionally, serum levels tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β evaluated collected samples. Results No significant found genotypes allele frequencies susceptibility or mortality from However, we observed a substantial increase IL-6 CRP associated with severity COVID-19, while no such trend for TNF-α. showed considerable rise TNF-α exclusively TT genotype compared controls. Conclusion In this conducted multiple cities Iran, mortality.
