From a pathophysiological point of view, COVID-19 is usually associated with elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines including interleukin- (IL-) 2, IL-6, IL-7, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GSCF), interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP10), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1), macrophage inflammatory protein 1A (MIP1A), and TNF-α [4, 5]. The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is COVID-19.
