Expression of SNHG6 was remarkably lower in COVID-19 patients compared with controls (Ratio of mean expression (RME) = 0.22, P value = 7.04E-05) and in both female and male affected individuals compared with sex-matched controls (RME = 0.32, P value = 0.04 and RME = 0.16, P value = 0.000679683, respectively). The gene discussed is SNHG6; the disease is COVID-19.
