Additional genes strongly upregulated during COVID-19 in the neutrophil degranulation pathway are IDH-1 (Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (NADP(+) 1) which regulates neutrophil chemotaxis, and FPR2 (Formyl Peptide Receptor 2), a G-coupled surface receptor which has a deleterious role to play in viral infection including influenza38. The gene discussed is IDH3A; the disease is viral infectious disease.
