Common genetic mechanisms between obesity and COVID-19 severity: unravelling pleiotropic loci and biological pathways

2026-08-12

Abstract excerpt

Abstract COVID-19 and obesity are complex conditions marked by immune and metabolic dysfunction, with the former still ranking among the leading causes of death from infectious diseases worldwide and the latter reaching pandemic proportions. Clinical evidence consistently shows that obesity increases the risk of severe COVID-19, yet the biological mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. Given their...
