Results from a recent (relatively small) cohort study comparing patients with obesity (n = 20) and patients with obesity and NASH (n = 17) demonstrated that ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are upregulated in the liver of patients with NASH,88 making the liver another potential target organ for SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. This evidence concerns the gene TMPRSS2 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
