BackgroundHigher expression of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 1 (MCP-1) was reported in several studies. The clinical severity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) could be affected by genetic polymorphisms in MCP-1. This study aimed to examine the impact of MCP-1 2518A/G polymorphism and clinical parameters with COVID-19 severity. MethodsThe polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used for MCP-1 rs1024611 (A/G) genotyping in 116 outpatients, hospitalized, and ICU patients. The biochemical and hematological profiles were collected from the patient’s medical records. ResultsBased on the statistical analysis, there was no significant relationship between the −2518A/G (rs1024611) genetic polymorphism in the regulatory region of the MCP-1 gene and the severity of the COVID-19. Multivariate logistic regression analysis has shown that the severity of COVID-19 infection was associated with decreased levels of eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and, monocyte and higher levels of SGPT, SGOT, NLR, CRP, ferritin, urea, and D-Dimer (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe MCP-1 gene polymorphism had no impact on COVID-19 severity. However, to confirm these results, a large-scale study needs to be conducted.
