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). The gene discussed is PLA2G7; the disease is COVID-19.
