From: Identification of selected genes associated with the SARS-CoV-2: a therapeutic approach and disease severity

S. no.

Major genes

Complications

1

ACE-2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2)

IT affects CNS and infects certain brain areas entering the olfactory bulb and thereby leading to loss of olfaction (Yin et al. 2020; Rodríguez-Puertas 2020)

2

IL-2, IL-7, and IL-10 (interleukins)

Autoimmune and immunostimulatory effects (Rodríguez-Puertas 2020). Negative regulation of transforming growth factor-β (Rousset et al. 2020)

3

TNF (tumor necrosis factor)

Depletion of T lymphocytes (Pellegrini et al. 2011)

4

VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor)

Exacerbating edema and the outbreak of immune cells (Diao et al. 2019b)
