COVID-19 and Vertical Transmission: Assessing the Expression of ACE2 / TMPRSS2 in the Human Fetus and Placenta to Assess the Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

2021-07-05

Abstract excerpt

Background: While pregnant women have been identified as a potentially at-risk group concerning COVID-19 infection, little is known regarding the susceptibility of the fetus to infection. Co-expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 has been identified as a pre-requisite for infection, and expression across different tissues is known to vary between children and adults. However, the expression of these proteins in the fetus...
