Expression of several PLA2 genes (e.g., PLA2G4A, PLA2G4C, PLA2G7, and PLA2G15) is up‐regulated in COVID‐19 patients compared to healthy controls, and their expression reduces to normal levels when patients recover from COVID‐19 (Yan et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene PLA2G4A and COVID-19.
