ACE2 is on the X chromosome: could this explain COVID-19 gender differences?

4 Jun 2020

Abstract excerpt

This commentary refers to ‘Circulating plasma concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in men and women with heart failure and effects of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone inhibitors’, by I.E. Sama et al., 2020;41:1810–1817. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting disease termed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) shows a fatality rate greater in men compared with...
