A genetic insight into vitamin D binding protein and COVID-19

It's since December 2019 that Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has emerged to be the global issue of concern。 A "pandemic"; this is what WHO has declared about the COVID-19 outbreak on March 3rd, 2020。 Vitamin D and its deficiency have recently been claimed to be one of the potential factors affecting COVID-19 risks and outcomes [1]。 As Selberstein et al。, has recently discussed the effect of vitamin D deficiency, and the role of vitamin D supplementation in COVID-19 patients [2], I'd believe that vitamin D binding protein (DBP) is maybe also involved。 A closer look on DBP and its action on regulating the circulatory vitamin D levels, its polymorphisms and their impact on COVID-19 prevalence and mortality, will be briefly discussed。
