Article Synopsis
- Critical COVID-19 is linked to immune system damage in the lungs, showing that genetics play a key role in severe cases requiring hospitalization.
- The GenOMICC study analyzes the genomes of 7,491 critically ill patients against 48,400 controls, uncovering 23 genetic variants that increase the risk for severe COVID-19, including new associations related to immune response and blood type.
- The findings suggest that both viral replication and heightened lung inflammation contribute to critically ill cases, highlighting potential genetic targets for new treatments.
Background: A continuation study of an extract of St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) for depression was performed in follow-up to an acute study that found no significant difference between St. John's wort extract and placebo.
