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].
