TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the association of ACE1 I/D polymorphism with severity of Covid-19 and found that ACE1 ID genotype was significantly independently associated with high socio-economic COVID-19 patients (OR: 2.48, 95% CI: 1.331-4.609).

Genetic polymorphisms of ACE1, ACE2, and TMPRSS2 associated with COVID‐19 severity: A systematic review with meta‐analysis

TL;DR: Genetic polymorphisms of ACE1 rs4646994 DD‐genotype, ACE2 rs2285666 GG‐ genotype, and TMPRSS2 rs12329760 CC‐genotypes and C‐allele may serve as predictive models of COVID‐19 severity.

ACE I/D polymorphism in Czech first-wave SARS-CoV-2-positive survivors.

TL;DR: In this article, the frequency of ACE I/I homozygotes was significantly increased in COVID-19 patients compared with that in controls (26.2% vs. 21.2%; P = 0.002; OR [95% CI] = 1.78 [1.22-2.60]).

The Renin-Angiotensin System: A Key Role in SARS-CoV-2-Induced COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the correlation between host genetic polymorphisms (especially in the renin-angiotensin system) as well as other related factors such age, gender, lifestyle and habits and underlying pathologies or comorbidities that could render individuals at higher risk of infection and pathogenicity.
