Transcriptomic analysis performed in samples from subjects with severe COVID-19 revealed the presence of low levels of type I and type III interferon genes together with elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-6, IL1RA, CCL2, CCL8 CXCL2, CXCL8, CXCL9, and CXCL16 [39]. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and COVID-19.
