Univariate analysis showed that COVID‐19 diagnosis was differently associated with all the demographic, laboratory and radiological characteristics except for age (p = .336), gender (p = .723), partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (p = .519), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p = .092) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) (p = .400) (Table 1). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is COVID-19.
