Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic and pre-eclampsia both present significant health challenges worldwide, with emerging evidence suggesting a genetic interlinkage that could illuminate new therapeutic avenues. This study aims to explore the genetic relationship between the severity of COVID-19 and pre-eclampsia, with a focus on Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in the NTSR1 gene and mechanisms of calcium ion transport.Method:
We employed a combination of genetic epidemiology and molecular biology techniques, including comprehensive bibliometric analysis and Mendelian Randomization, to assess the correlation between specific SNPs related to the NTSR1 gene and the severity of both COVID-19 and pre-eclampsia.Result:
Our findings reveal a significant genetic correlation between the severity of COVID-19 and pre-eclampsia, underscored by SNPs associated with the NTSR1 gene and calcium ion transport. This correlation suggests a shared genetic foundation that could exacerbate both conditions, providing insights into potential molecular interactions involved.Conclusion:
The identification of shared genetic pathways between COVID-19 and pre-eclampsia highlights the importance of genetic insights in developing targeted therapeutic interventions. These results open up new avenues for the mitigation of these conditions, emphasizing the role of genetic epidemiology in shaping future healthcare strategies.
