Linking surfactant proteins and genetic variants to COVID-19 severity

2026-08-14

Abstract excerpt

COVID-19 presents with variable clinical severity. Surfactant proteins (SPs) are critical to lung function and host defense, but their role as biomarkers for COVID-19 severity, and the impact of SP genetic variants, remains unclear. Therefore, we asked whether plasma SP levels and SP genetic variants are associated with COVID-19 severity in adults. We conducted a cohort study of 261 adults with PCR-confirmed COVID...
