Men more vulnerable to COVID-19: explained by ACE2 on the X chromosome?

5 Jun 2020

Abstract excerpt

This commentary refers to ‘ACE2 is on the X chromosome: could this explain COVID-19 gender differences?’, by E. Culebras and F. Hernández, 2020:41:3095. The apparent superiority of women over men in not succumbing to COVID-19 is not completely understood. Therefore, examination of the sex-distinguishing genetics of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the host receptor that binds SARS coronaviruses, might help...
