Introduction: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system was shown to be activated in severe COVID-19 infection. We aimed to investigate the relation between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) levels, ACE gene polymorphism, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and hypertension (HT), and the prognosis of COVID-19 infection.Methods: Clinical features of adult patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosis were analyzed. ACE gene analysis and ACE level measur...
