Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonu sonucu gelişen ve "COVID-19 sendromu" olarak tanımlanabilecek tablonun üç özel immünogenomik gelişim aşaması vardır; başlatıcı, ilerleyici ve komplikasyon fazları. Her COVID-19 fazı, farklı terapötik klinik müdahaleler gerektiren kritik patobiyolojik korelasyonlara sahiptir. Renin-anjiyotensin sistemi (RAS) genleri, koronavirüs ailesi üyelerinin neden olduğu enfeksiyonların başlaması için gereklidir ve SARS-CoV-2 enfeksiyonunu takiben kritik immün gen ürünleriyle, özellikle de IFN ailesinin üyeleri ile güçlü bir etkileşime sahiptir. Bu makale, COVID-19 immün sendromu olarak tanımlanabilecek multisistemiı tablonun klinikopatolojik seyrine ilişkin daha önce yayınladığımız üç aşamalı modelin kavramları çerçevesinde COVID-19 için tedavi protokollerini güncel bir yaklaşımla gözden geçirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Mevcut tedavi seçeneklerinin RAS'ı etkileyen gelecekteki olası terapötik adayları da sendromun immünogenomik perspektifiyle ele alınmaktadır.

Abstract
The COVID-19 syndrome following the SARS-CoV-2 infection has three unique immunogenomic disease development phases; initiating, propagating, and complicating. Each COVID-19 phase has critical pathobiological correlations requiring distinct therapeutic clinical interventions. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) genes are essential for initiating infections caused by coronavirus family members and may have a strong association with the exchange of critical immune genes, particularly IFN-family, in due course following the SARS-CoV-2 infection. This paper aims to review therapeutic protocols for COVID-19 within the concepts of our previously published three-phase model regarding the clinicopathological course of COVID-19 immune syndrome. The current treatment options have been reviewed in this synopsis within our three-phase disease schedule. Possible future drug candidates affecting the RAS are also considered from the immunogenomical perspective of the syndrome.
