Identification of Aggravation-Predicting Gene Polymorphisms in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients Using a Candidate Gene Approach Associated With Multiple Phase Pathogenesis: A Study in a Japanese City of 1 Million People.

Unlabelled: The pathology caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 is mediated by host-mediated lung inflammation, driving severity, and mortality. Polymorphisms in genes encoding host inflammation and immune-related molecules may be associated with the development of serious pathologies, and identifying such gene polymorphisms may lead to the identification of therapeutic targets.

Objectives: We attempted to identify aggravation-predicting gene polymorphisms.
