Bermejo-Martin et al. (2020) reported that viral RNA load in plasma correlates with higher chemokines levels, including CXCL10 and CCL2. Xiong et al. (2020) also indicated the association between COVID-19 pathogenesis and excessive cytokine release, including CXCL10/IP-10. The gene discussed is CXCL10; the disease is COVID-19.
