Abstract

A recent study using genome-wide association study (GWAS), a monocyte transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) models, and Mendelian randomization revealed association of the critical COPVID-19 with genes relatedhost factors required for viral replication and entry, -immunometabolism, monocyte-macrophage activation and endothelial permeability, and inflammatory signalling; RAB2A and TMPRSS2 (Figure 1) [1], AK5 and SLC2A, PDE4A, and JAK1, respectively [1]. There was critical correlations between predicted gene expression in monocyte [2], blood [3], and lung (Figure 2) [1, 4, 5].

A recent study using genome-wide association study (GWAS), a monocyte transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) models, and Mendelian randomization revealed association of the critical COPVID-19 with genes related- host factors required for viral replication and entry, -immunometabolism, monocyte-macrophage activation and endothelial permeability, and inflammatory signalling; RAB2A and TMPRSS2 (Figure 1) [1], AK5 and SLC2A, PDE4A, and JAK1, respectively [1]. There was critical correlations between predicted gene expression in monocyte [2], blood [3], and lung (Figure 2) [1, 4, 5]. In conclusion, Therapeutic targeting for critical COVID-19 could have potential by highlighting novel disease- biological mechanisms and critical- COVID-19-pathogenesis understanding.

Playing a role in controlling viral replication and those implicated in driving hypoxemic respiratory failure later in disease (green section, demonstrating “maladaptive” response) are functioned by dived host- immune process. A higher level of confidence in both the gene identification and the biological role are indicated by the bold-type-gene names [1, 4, 5].
